The Cinderella property is situated west of Shea Creek in the Slocan Mining Division. It is located on the steep slope above Carpenter Creek, adjacent to the Victor group (082FNW040). The underground workings are on Crown grant Lot 3621 at 1210 metres elevation above sea level.

Regionally, the area lies on the western margin of the Kootenay Arc, in allochthonous rocks of the Quesnel Terrane. In the vicinity of the occurrence, the Quesnel Terrane is dominated by very fine grained clastic sedimentary rocks of the Upper Triassic Slocan Group that include locally weakly metamorphosed argillite, quartzite, limestone and some tuffaceous rocks. These sedimentary rocks are intruded by dikes, sills and stocks of varied composition and origin. Permian and/or Triassic Kaslo Group metamorphosed volcanic rocks occur to the north of the Slocan Group rocks. Middle Jurassic Nelson intrusions are immediately south of the Slocan Group and are inferred to be the source of granitic to pegmatitic sills and dikes found in the area. The Nelson intrusions comprise at least six texturally and compositionally distinct phases ranging from diorite to lamprophyre. The most dominant phase is a medium to coarse grained potassium feldspar porphyritic granite (Paper 1989-5).

The occurrence is hosted by massive and carbonaceous argillite and quartzite of the Slocan Group. The sedimentary rocks have been folded, fractured, faulted and regionally metamorphosed to greenschist facies. On the property, the Slocan Group rocks strike southeast and dip at shallow angles to the northeast or southwest. The rocks are intruded by dikes and a stock of biotite quartz diorite.

The old workings include 6 adits and one short incline adit and range in elevation from about 30.4 to 243.8 metres above Carpenter Creek. Two adits between 122 and 152.4 metres north of the Lone Bachelor adits (082FNW205) are driven on steep joints in thick bedded argillite that dips southwestward into the hill. The upper adit is caved and the other, 18.2 metres lower, is about 61 metres long. Two other adits are located at the old camp. The upper adit is reported to be 198 metres long. The other adit, 30.4 metres lower, is nearly 244 metres in length. The adits explore fissure veins that follow a joint system striking 042 degrees and dipping 70 degrees southeast. The veins vary from a mere fracture to about a metre in width. They consist mainly of crushed wallrock with stringers of galena, pyrite and oxidized sulphides in a matrix of quartz. Within the underground workings, several mineralized fractures were intersected, some striking parallel but most striking across the bedding planes of the enclosing rocks. In the lower parts of the mine, the veins contained mainly sphalerite and siderite with only minor galena and quartz.

In November 1948 the property was acquired by Violamac Mines Limited. In 1953 the No. 9 adit of the Victor mine (082FNW040) was collared on the Cinderella claim and in the next few years was advanced to a point 1280 metres from the portal; most of the workings being on the Victor property. A vein was exposed near the portal of this level in 1953, and in 1955 a similar vein, possibly the same one, was exposed 30.4 metres lower and 91.4 metres to the northeast. In 1956 No. 10 adit was started on this vein, and in 1957 had a length of over 247.3 metres. A raise was put up from this level to the surface near No. 9 portal. Some short sections of ore were encountered in the raise and some stoping was done. In 1956 some of the old workings, consisting of 2 connected adits and approximately 609.6 metres of workings, were reopened, mapped and surveyed. In 1957 a new No. 11 adit was started near the old workings at a point 45.7 metres northeast and 30.4 metres lower than No. 10 portal. The adit was driven southwestward to intersect the old shaft workings at 45.7 metres from the portal. By the end of 1957 this adit was 170.6 metres long but little ore was encountered. In January 1958 work on both No. 10 and No. 11 adits was suspended and there has not been any record of work on the property since.

Production from the Cinderella mine between 1904 and 1936 yielded 574,317 grams of silver, 149,814 kilograms of lead and 11 kilograms of zinc from 226 tonnes mined.
