The “St. Ives” claim comprises 101.026 hectares over 5 cell units, and is situate on the south-facing slope of Anglemont Mountain, in the immediate vicinity of St. Ives, B.C., along the north shore of Shuswap Lake.  The claim lies 90 kilometers northeast of Kamloops, 65 kilometers west of Revelstoke, or, 47 kilometers north from Enderby. The tenure was staked, based on two considerations - - previously identified silver showings on the slopes of Anglemont Mountain, and, a report of a singular, sizable gold nugget (1 ¼ to 1 ½ cm) being discovered in the area some years earlier by a senior at leisure. Such report coincided with research conducted into the area many years earlier, and, the report itself was investigated and verified to be authentic. Thus, interest was revived to investigate the area's potential.  Historically, Scotch Creek was, and still remains, to be worked annually for placer gold.

This area is well forested and moderately steep, and forms part of the Shuswap Highland Forest. Access to the property would be considered excellent, gained from a two-lane secondary paved road leading north from BC Highway #1, approximately nine kilometers east of Chase, cutting through the Quaaout 1 Indian Reserve, thence following said paved road for approximately 45 kilometers in an easterly direction, passing through Scotch Creek and Anglemont, to the vicinity of the claim, and St. Ives.
