The Alice-Ben Bolt showing is located at the headwaters of the south fork of Glacier Creek (Albany Creek), 6 kilometres east-northeast of Stewart. A vein carrying polymetallic mineralization was discovered here while investigating the southern portion of the Portland Canal fissure zone.
The showing consists of a 0.10 to 0.46 metre wide vein hosted in argillite of the Middle Jurassic Salmon River Formation (Hazelton Group). The vein occurs near the southwestern margin of an augite diorite stock. The vein is exposed in a trench for a length of 6.4 metres and is well mineralized with pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena, arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite. A representative sample assayed 4.1 grams per tonne gold, 189 grams per tonne silver, 0.7 per cent copper and 8.7 per cent zinc (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1932, page 591).
During 1932, opencutting, stripping and general prospecting was carried out by W. Hobill of Stewart. This work was mainly carried out in a deep draw extending southeasterly from the Jumbo claim (Lot 774, Ben Bolt showing (103P 080)) through the Alice No. 2 claim (Lot 5253). Five cuts were excavated along a distance of about 183 metres between 861 and 893 metres elevation. Near the easterly boundary of the Alice claim, at 914 metres elevation, trenching uncovered a new vein for 6.4 metres (see description above). Further trenching on the projection of this vein, at 952 metres elevation, has uncovered a width of 3 metres of quartz stringers. This vein strikes at an angle of about 040 degrees to the main zone and should intersect with its projection in the draw at about 305 metres southeasterly of the last trench on the main zone on the Ben Bolt showing.
