The Silver Leaf Property is located near Speculator Creek, 8 kilometres east-northeast of Slocan in southeastern British
Columbia, and consists of 10 claim units covering approximately 2,378 hectares (5,874 acres).
The property includes the Silver Leaf, Riverside, Slocan Prince, Hampton, Bondholder, Dumac, Westmont, Neepawa, and Mabou
mines. Assay results on a grab sample
of the cleanest looking ore yielded trace gold, 9100 grams (292 ounces) per tonne silver, 18.5% (407 pounds per tonne) lead
and 17% (375 pounds per tonne) zinc. Previous mining operations at the Silver
Leaf mine produced an average of 598 grams (19.2 ounces) per tonne silver. The Riverside produced an average of 1,534 grams
(49 ounces) per tonne silver, and has assayed up to 3,000 grams (96 ounces) per tonne silver. Past production from the Slocan
Prince and Hampton mines has averaged 10,000 grams (321 ounces) and 16,817 grams (540 ounces) per tonne silver, respectively.
A more recently discovered vein documented in reports assays as high as 657.46
ounces per tonne
silver.
The Silver Leaf Property also includes the rights to the surface ore dump from the nearby Arlington mine. According to BC
MINFILE 082FNW152, this surface ore represents proven reserves of 43,114 tonnes at 15.68 ounces per tonne silver, which
equates to 676,238 ounces of silver.
