Capsule Geology

The Crusader property is located north of Lemon Creek, 10 kilometres southeast of Slocan City. In addition to the Crusader claim, the property includes the Boulder and Hidden Treasure claims.

In 1902 the discovery of mineralized float led to trenching which resulted in the discovery of a weathered quartz vein in Nelson granite. The vein is reported to be 0.75 metre wide composed of cellular, coarsely crystalline quartz containing pyrite, silver sulphides, some native silver and gold. Subsequent work from 1896 through 1902 included sinking a 33-metre shaft on the vein. The Crusader claim (Lot 5985) was crown granted in 1904. In 1939, production of 5 tonnes resulted in 218 grams of gold and 12,255 grams of silver.

King Jack Resources conducted surveys on the Chapleau Creek property between 1985 and 1987.
