Information on North Bays Silver Cup Ridge property is located near Trout Lake, BC, on Fays Peak and Silver Cup Ridge, approximately 70 km southeast of Revelstoke in southeastern British Columbia. The property consists of 5 contiguous claim units covering 636 hectares (1,572 acres). It features five separate prospects, three of which are notable; the Fays Peak Copper, Skyline, and Golden Crown claims.
The Fays Peak Copper claim is on the southwest footwall side of a major fault that runs down the axis of Silver Cup Ridge. The mineralization has been traced down the mountain into the basin at the head of Ottawa Creek and it is exposed in a 15.24 metres-long prospecting adit at 2130 metres elevation. A sample from the adit is reported to have assayed 4.46 grams per tonne gold, 171.4 grams per tonne silver and 4 per cent copper.
The Skyline area is adjacent to the Fays Peak Copper claim. The main Skyline vein is an irregular quartz vein, between 0.05 and 1.22 metres wide, and contains pyrite with a little galena. The mineralization has assayed up to 27.43 grams per tonne gold, 877.7 grams per tonne silver and 18 per cent lead.
The Golden Crown prospect is on Stobart Creek, which flows to the southwest into Trout Lake. It is on the southwest slope of a spur from Silver Cup mountain between 1830 and 2000 metres elevation. The Golden Crown vein is a massive body of highly crystalline quartz, sparingly mineralized with pyrite. Previously reported assays have ranged up to 24.0 grams per tonne gold, 2105 grams per tonne silver and 68.5 per cent lead.
