The Tail Holt property is in the head water area of Chapleau Creek, 7.2 kilometres east southeast of Slocan City. Access is from the Slocan highway via the Lemon Creek road. See also 082FNW130-134, 136.
The target of exploration in this area is a gold-bearing quartz vein 0.3 to 0.9 metre thick, dipping 20 degrees (northeast?) into the hill. Development work on this claim consists of a short adit, crosscut and a decline for about 20 metres down the vein. Work on this property was done mainly in the period 1898 to 1904.
About 100 metres south of the Tail Holt adit, the King Jack adit was driven in 1922 by the King Jack Mining Company, on an east-west trending, 30-degree north dipping vein for about 75 metres. A 6.4-metre chip sample assayed 14.4 grams per tonne gold and 1214 grams per tonne silver (Annual Report 1922, page 204).
Albury Resources prospected on the claim in 1982. From 1985 to 1987, the King Jack claim was surveyed and drilled as part of the Chapleau Creek property by King Jack Resources Ltd. The King Jack adit was rehabilitated in 1985. Resources are reported as 99,800 tonnes grading 12 grams per tonne gold and 392 grams per tonne silver (CMH 1989-90, page 259). Indicated and possible ore for the King Jack vein are reported in 1989 as 37,200 tonnes grading 7.85 grams per tonne gold and 79.9 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 22085). Total reserves for the Chapleau properties are reported as 505,200 tonnes grading 8 grams per tonne gold and 238 grams per tonne silver (CMH 1989-90, page 259). In July 1990, King Jack became International King Jack Resources Ltd., who became Petromin Resources Ltd. in April 1996.
