Capsule Geology

The Horsehoe occurrence is located north of the Kaslo River, between Whitewater and Goat creeks at about 1386 metres elevation. The occurrence lies 600 metres west-southwest of the former Whitewater mine (082KSW033).

The Horseshoe claim was Crown granted to P. McLaren and W. Allan in 1904. In 1936, lead-zinc-silver production was reported from the Horseshoe occurrence, then owned by H. Lind.

The Horseshoe occurrence is located along the western extension of the historically significant Whitewater lode and southwest of the Wellington-Sunset-Colorado lode system (082KSW030, 140).

Production records indicate 2 tonnes ore were mined in 1936 from which 3110 grams silver and 755 kilograms lead were recovered.
