A number of showings are aligned north-south for 3 kilometres, starting from just inside Glacier National Park (Edinburgh, 082N 029; Elizabeth, 082N 030; Scotia, 082N 031) parallel to the Incomappleux River, about 750 metres east of the river, approximately 48 kilometres east of Revelstoke. These showings were previously covered by claims staked in the early 1890s and comprise the Edinburgh (082N 029), Elizabeth (082N 030), Scotia (082N 031), Annie (082N 032), Agnes (082N 033), Heronback (082N 034) and Salmon, aligned north-south starting from the north.
The area is underlain by a steeply dipping package of rusty weathering, thinly bedded, black, metamorphosed argillite and silty argillite of the Lower Cambrian and younger Lardeau Group, intruded by an Early and/or mid-Cretaceous biotite granite intrusion. The argillites have been extensively hydrothermally altered resulting in considerable deposition of manganese.
Quartz and quartz-carbonate zones from 3 to 4 metres wide occur in a north striking, vertical shear zone in argillite. Up to 6 metres of manganese alteration occurs on either side of the shear zone along with seams of manganite. Mineralization in the quartz- carbonate and quartz consists of seams and veins of argentiferous galena and some sphalerite.
At the Salmon occurrence, a good surface showing of mineralization analysed 2742 grams per tonne silver and 72 per cent lead. About 91 metres of tunnelling was performed (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1896, page 540).
Riverdance Resources Corp. and Achieva Development Corp. optioned the Silver Ridge property in 1998. Sampling in 1997 assayed up to 104 grams per tonne silver, 12.32 per cent lead and 4.67 per cent zinc over 2 metres (GCNL #89(May8), #115(June 16), 1998).
