Capsule Geology

The Skylark (Lot 9333) and Ranger (Lot 9332) claims are at about 1950 metres elevation on the ridge north of Chapleau Creek, 6 kilometres southeast of Slocan. Access to the property is by trail from the Chapleau mine (082FNW130) which is connected to the Slocan highway via the Lemon and Chapleau creek roads.

The property, Crown granted in 1910, was first explored in 1896.

A quartz vein, cutting granitic rocks of the Nelson batholith and gneissic rocks (inclusion), has been explored by drifts from three adits. At surface the vein is traced for about 900 metres over two full claims. Three tonnes of hand cobbed ore produced in 1934 graded 41 grams per tonne gold and 3442 grams per tonne silver.

Kilo Gold Mines Ltd. sampled the claims in 1985 and surveyed in 1986. A 20-centimetre sample assayed 36.2 grams per tonne gold and 757 grams per tonne silver (GCNL #229(Nov.25), 1985).
