This old claim, owned by William Kelsall in 1937, is on Pass creek about 460 metres east of the Rock Candy Mines road, 6.4 kilometres from the main road on Granby River. The claim is about 200 metres above the road on a rocky hillside some 60 metres below the rounded edge.
The intrusive rocks are dioritic and porphyritic of the Jurassic Nelson Intrusives and the older rocks are probably strongly altered Anarchist metasediments. A quartz vein is traceable for nearly 300 metres north-south along the hillside; it passes under talus on the north and fades out into stringers on the south. The dip is steep to the east and the width apparently varies between 1.2 and 2.0 metres.
An adit, driven 14 metres due east to crosscut the vein, shows at the face 2 metres of quartz of irregular attitude. A small shaft is sunk on the vein about 30 metres northeast of the adit portal. A second shaft, 84 metres to the north, is 7.5 metres deep. In these workings about 2 metres of white to glassy quartz contains pyrite in granular masses and inter-crystal films, in addition to a little arsenopyrite. Some small pockets of black powdery magnetite occur in the adit and upper shaft.
Values in platinum had been reported from these workings. Hedley took 6 samples and assayed for platinum, gold and silver. Three samples from the upper shaft, one from the lower shaft and two from the adit were taken as representative of the better mineralized quartz and also of the magnetite-bearing pockets. One sample returned: 0.69 gram per tonne gold, 27.4 grams per tonne silver; the other five samples returned each a trace in gold and trace to 13.7 grams per tonne silver. Each sample returned nil in platinum (Hedley, 1937).
