The Alexandria No. 2 is accessible by a good logging road up Lemon Creek and Crusader Creek for 20 kilometres, thence by an old logging road on Branch 5 for 3.5 kilometres to an elevation of 1600 metres on Tagart (Tiger) Creek and a foot trail for 2 kilometres to the mine on the south slope of Mount Rappel at an elevation of 2100 metres. The Alexandria No. 2 (Lot 2886) and Delley (Lot 2887) were Crown-granted in 1898 and worked from 1895 to 1899.

The host rock for the mineralization is granite to granodiorite of the Jurassic Nelson batholith. In the mine the vein is generally measured in centimetres, but in several locations widths of 0.6 metre were seen. Economic mineralization consists of galena, argentite, silver and chalcopyrite. Massive galena occurs on the eastern side of the first stope. The shaft probably was raised on the vein and galena is present on the west wall. Here the galena forms the matrix of a breccia as compared to the rest of the vein which is normal vein filling. Development in 1976 and 1977 from 6 tonnes of hand cobbled ore totalled 23,940 grams of silver, 27 grams of gold, 9 kilograms of copper, 288 kilograms of lead, 15 kilograms of zinc and 1 kilogram of bismuth. The ore came from a surface cut at an elevation of 2100 metres. Development also consists of a 24-metre shaft and 116 metres of drifting. A shipment was reported in 1941. In 1972, Hi-Ridge Resources Ltd. conducted a geophysical and geochemical survey on the Dry Ridge property. A sample taken in 1987 assayed 1.6 per cent lead and 1.4 per cent zinc (Open File 1988-11).
