The Dayton property is near the mouth of Dayton Creek at the elevation of 1035 metres, 3 kilometres east-northeast of Slocan. Access is from the Slocan highway via the Springer Creek road.

The Dayton claim (Lot 2419) is underlain by coarse grained, porphyritic Nelson granite. The workings consist of a crosscut adit that intercepts two vein structures. Drifting on the principal structure explores a fault fissure system that strikes 160 degrees and dips 35 degrees northeast. This contains lenses of quartz up to 46 centimetres wide, mineralized with pyrite, some galena, argentite and tetrahedrite. A second quartz vein, 15 metres further on at the face of the crosscut, strikes 025 degrees and dips 55 degrees southeast. This vein is 1.8 metres wide and contains some coarse pyrite cubes.

Intermittent production from 1903 to 1935, totalled 17 tonnes, yielding 12,224 grams of silver, 93 grams of gold and 1006 kilograms of lead.

OGG Corporation held the property in 1982.
