The Payroll zone, located on the Payroll claims, is approximately 600 metres north of the Indian Mine which is 24 kilometers north of Stewart, British Columbia. For a more extensive capsule geology and bibliography refer to the Indian Mine (104B 031).

The property is located in the Intermontane Belt bounded on the west by the Coast Crystalline Complex and on the east by the Bowser Basin, in the volcanic arc assemblage of the Stikinia Terrane.

The showing is hosted by Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group, Unuk River Formation metavolcanic rocks. The Hazelton Group is a north- west trending steeply east dipping belt of folded andesitic lapilli tuffs, flows and breccia containing a thick sequence of argillites and siltstones infolded along a synclinal axis. This sequence is intruded by the Early Jurassic Texas Creek plutonic suite of porphyry dykes.

Mineralization was emplaced in the north trending Indian fault system intermittently along a strike length of 240 metres (Indian Vein). The fault system contains pyritic, sericitic, and quartz- calcite infilled fault breccia and gouge in an en echelon arrangement. The Indian fault system dips steeply to the east, striking 170 degrees.

The mineralization on the Payroll claim is probably a richer, north extension of mineralization at the Indian Mine (104B 031).

Mineralization consists of pods of heavily disseminated to massive sphalerite and galena with minor chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite and arsenopyrite. The mineralization is essentially identical to the Indian Mine mineralization except for the abundance of chalcopyrite and the small amounts of tetrahedrite. The host rock has undergone propylitic, carbonate and potassium feldspar alteration.

It has been reported that the Indian vein contains variable gold and silver values with grades less than 8 grams per tonne gold over narrow vein widths with low continuity. There have been no economic quartz stockworks similar to the Big Missouri deposit (104B 046) discovered on the property and mineralization is considered to be late stage versus the more economic early-stage mineralization exhibited in deposits nearby, such as the Silbak Premier (104B 054) and the Big Missouri.

In 1961 a grab sample of mineralized rock from the dump material of an old open cut assayed 13.71 grams per tonne gold, 2569.29 grams per tonne silver, 1.70 per cent copper, 4.80 per cent lead, 16.12 per cent zinc (White, W.H., 1962).

During 2004 through 2019, the area has been explored as part of the Silver Coin property and a complete property exploration history can be at the nearby Silver Coin (MINFILE 104B 150) occurrence.
