The “Gold n’ Ends” group of claims consists of three individual tenures, the “Loose Ends” claim, the “Au-Ag One” and the “Au-Ag Two.” Collectively, these properties comprise 188.333 hectares over 9 cell units, and are situate along the western slopes of the mountain range which divides Monument Creek from an unnamed creek to the west, 15.3 kilometres southeast of Slocan. Mt. Grohman and Mt. Rubin lie to the south, with Lemon Creek to the north, into which, both said creeks flow. The claims were staked along a high-grade gold and silver zone of known showings, which follows a north-south trending strike for a considerable distance, and through these properties. Prospecting by previous operators have identified numerous quartz veins along said strike, from which a few samples were taken, rendering high assays.
Though not specifically on either of the tenures, the single-cell claim abutting and in between the Gold n’ Ends group, hosts the old CST showing, a zone of north-trending mineralized quartz veins occurring in granite of the Middle Jurassic Nelson Intrusions. A sample taken from these veins in 1984, assayed 2325 grams per tonne silver, 8.1 grams per tonne gold and 1.7 per cent lead. To date, there has not been any development along this specific locale.
