The Galena Vein showing is located on Crusader Ridge, approximately 11 kilometres south east of Slocan. A number of old workings, from the late 1890’s, occur in the area of the showing. In 2006 through 2008, a program of geological mapping, soil, stream sediment and rock sampling was performed on the area as a part of the G.R. claims of the Crusader Ridge property.

The area is underlain by porphyritic granite and a finer grained greenish-grey granite of the Jurassic Nelson Intrusions, cut by lamprophyre and pegmatite dikes (some pyritized).

Locally, a quartz vein with sericite alteration is shown along the old workings for over 1.2 kilometres. The quartz veins were reported to carry values in gold and silver associated with iron pyrites, silver sulfides, and sometimes free gold and silver. Mining, in 1897 to 1898, of the quartz vein at the Golden Wedge showing, 1.5 kilometres to the south, returned values of approximately 125 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 28546).

Sampling of the Galena Vein, in 2006, returned values of greater than 100,000 parts per billion gold, 100 parts per million silver, greater than 10,000 parts per million zinc, greater than 10,000 parts per million lead, 364.4 parts per million copper and 1124.5 parts per million molybdenum (Assessment Report 28546).
