The Slocan Boy past producer is located on the western slopes of a divide between Carpenter and McGuigan creeks, between 1767 and 1950 metres elevation. The Payne past producer (082KSW006) is located 1.5 kilometres to the west. The area lies roughly 10 kilometres northeast of New Denver, British Columbia.
The Slocan Boy claim, covering the Slocan Boy mine, was first located in 1891 and mining commenced almost immediately. The majority of production occurred between 1896 and 1905. Recorded production for this period totalled 346 tonnes yielding 1,374,380 grams silver and 222,824 kilograms lead (BC METAL MM01408).
Workings of the Slocan Boy mine included 3 adits driven from the Carpenter Creek slope, averaging 68 metres length and covering 90 vertical metres from the top of the ridge. Workings of the Washington mine (Washington-Slocan Boy lode) extended onto the Slocan Boy claim. See 082KSW008 for further reference of the Washington mine.
Lithologies hosting the Slocan Boy mine include interbedded quartzite, argillite and limestone of the Triassic Slocan Group. These are locally intruded by quartz feldspar porphyry dikes and sills. Workings are hosted in the upper limb of the recumbent fold hosting the Payne mine.
The Slocan Boy lode lies 1828 metres to the northwest of the Washington-Slocan Boy lode. Ore is hosted in a fault-fissure zone, along which considerable shearing has occurred. The zone has a general strike of 050 degrees and dips steeply southeast. The lode was composed of brecciated wallrock, quartz and siderite hosting galena, sphalerite and pyrite. Mineralization has been controlled by bedding and jointing. Although narrow, the mineralization appeared to have a silver to lead ratio of nearly 5 to 1.
During 2008 through 2010, Klondike Silver Corp. completed programs of soil and rock sampling, geological mapping and trenching on the area.
