THERMA MINING PROJECT
The Slocan Area of Southern BC is famous for production of silver (it's called the "Silvery Slocan"). The Slocan Mining District has produced more than 24 million ounces of silver since the first discoveries in the late 1800s transformed this scenic wilderness into the silver-mining center of Western Canada. Exploration and mining have continued to the present and a neighbour to the company's property has a fully permitted and operating silver mine and mill.
The property is of interest as a high potential host to economic precious and base metal mineralization including gold, silver, lead and zinc. Historical work and present operations in the area have greatly enhanced the potential of this property. Past activities on the property and neighbouring area have included the production of gold, silver, zinc and lead. Reported production has been obtained from the Wellington - 3.6 million grams silver (117,450 oz.) and the Highland Surprise - 51,000 g gold deposits. Other smaller amounts have been reported from 10 other areas on the property.
Also within the vicinity of the property is the Whitewater Mine. This mine, located 1 kilometre south of the property, produced 260,542 tons of ore containing 1435 oz gold, 3,152,130 oz silver , 28,017,903 l b s lead and 36,260,370 lbs zinc during the period 1892 t o 1945. The property is located in the Slocan Area of BC just the north side of Highway 31A, approximately midway between New Denver and Kaslo but a small part extends to the south of Kaslo Creek.
