Capsule Geology

The Gold Reef property is situated 1 kilometre west of the confluence of Mineral and Crusader creeks, 13 kilometres east of Slocan. Access from the Slocan highway is via the Crusader and Lemon creek roads.

Little is known about this property other than there was an unsuccessful attempt to set up a small mill in 1922. The claims were worked as the Golden Wedge in 1897 and 1898, when underground workings totalled 190 metres. H. Avis trenched the claims in 1976 and 1978.
