The Anaconda Crown grant (Lot 4710) is located at the headwaters of Galena Creek.

There are five major bands of limestone in the area which are known locally as the Black Warrior, Silver Leaf, Ellsmere Ledge, Horne Ledge and Surprise limestone. The Black Warrior was mapped by the Geological Survey of Canada as the Badshot Formation. It is thought that all these bands are part of the Lower Cambrian Badshot Formation, repeated by folding. These bands are interlayered with schist and phyllites of the Cambrian to Devonian Index Formation, Lardeau Group.

In 1899, there was reported to be 4 claims in the Anaconda group. The formation is reported to be in schist and limestone and the ore was reported to assay high in gold and copper. By 1899, a tunnel was in 33 metres.
