Capsule Geology

A tunnel was excavated on the King claims between 1899 and 1902, achieving a length of 27 metres. The deposit was not described except to say that it was showing rich prospects of galena ore.

The King group of claims were reported to be situated at St. Elmo, west of Hope. As shown on GSC Map 737A, St. Elmo is located on the Canadian National Railway line, about 1 kilometre downstream from the mouth of Hunter Creek. This area is underlain by the southern extremity of the Cretaceous Spuzzum pluton consisting of quartz diorite and diorite.
