The Kane Creek property is located on the west side of Kane Creek, 13 kilometres east-northeast of Rosebery on the east side of Slocan Lake. Road access is available via logging and bush roads which leave the highway at Wilson Creek, 0.7 kilometre east of Rosebery.
The showing consists of a quartz vein cutting a feldspar porphyry intrusive plug of Cretaceous-Tertiary age. The quartz vein is 60 metres long and up to 30 centimetres wide. It strikes 050 degrees, dipping 45 degrees to the east. Mineralization consists of galena, tetrahedrite and minor amounts of sphalerite and pyrite. A bleached, silicified zone in the footwall of the vein is also mineralized and a grab sample yielded an assay of 6.2 grams per tonne gold, 457 grams per tonne silver, 5.9 per cent lead and 0.47 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 18547). Other mineralized quartz veins of various orientations are present in the area of the showings. The host feldspar porphyry intrudes Triassic Slocan Group sedimentary rocks which include phyllite, argillite, quartzite and minor limestone (GSC Open File 432).
Little is known about the early history of the property, however, it occurs on a surveyed lot (Lot 1602) which was likely a Crown granted mining claim. Old adits, possibly dating from the last century, are present on the property. In 1979, Amoco Petroleum Limited completed a program of soil geochemical sampling (Assessment Report 7171). In 1988-89, Excellon Resources Incorporated (Assessment Report 18547) completed a program of road building (20 metres), trenching (0.7 kilometre), lithogeochemical sampling (17 samples), soil sampling (55 samples) and silt sampling (5 samples). In 1990, Excellon Resources Incorporated completed additional lithogeochemical sampling (9 samples), soil sampling (954 samples) and silt sampling (27 samples), and geologically mapped 330 hectares (Assessment Report 20913).
