GEORGIA RIVER-ANYOX DISTRICT

Anyox Extension Claim (Locality 193)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1916.

The Anyox Extension claim is on the north shore of Alice Arm near
Way point. An open-cut exposes pyrite in mica schist included in granite.

B.C. Verde Group (Locality 104)

References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1921 and
1927.

The B.C. Verde group of eight mineral claims is on the ridge between
Portland canal and the head of Georgia river. The workings consist of a
cluster of open-cuts at an elevation of 3,200 feet on the crest of the ridge.

The mineral deposits are not clearly outlined but appear to consist of
disseminations of pyrite and chalcopyrite in rocks of the Hazelton group
near the contact of the Coast Range granite. It is probable that much of
the mineralized rock is intrusive. Mineralization is spread over a large
area.

Big Mike Group (Locality 163)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1926.

The Big Mike group of six claims is on the east shore of Portland
canal about 6 miles from Stewart.

The mineral deposits are in diorite of the Coast Range batholith and in
included volcanic rocks of the Hazelton group. The main deposit is a clean-
walled, quartz vein up to 24 feet wide striking east-southeast and dipping
50 degrees north. It is locally well mineralized with pyrite, chalcopyrite,
galena, and sphalerite. The vein has been drifted on for 100 feet just above
high tide. Some ore has been stoped out and sacked but no shipments have
been made. A few hundred feet south is another adit following for 100
feet a barren looking shear zone that strikes southeasterly. The rock at
this place is an epidote-bearing volcanic rock.

Black Bear Group (Locality 198)
References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1930 and 1931.

The Black Bear group is 3 miles from Anyox and adjoins and lies
southeast of the Bonanza mine. A quartz vein about 12 feet wide contain-
ing a little molybdenite has been traced for 500 feet. At another place
quartz gashes and stringers are exposed for a considerable width.

Bonanza Mine (Locality 198)

1902, 1930, and 1931; Geol. Surv., Canada, Memoir 32.

The Bonanza mine is on Bonanza creek 2 mile from its mouth and 3
miles south of Anyox. The property was bonded in 1901 to M. K. Rodgers
who immediately began outlining the ore-body but relinquished the option
in 1902. In 1912 after the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting, and
Power Company had acquired the Hidden Creek group they also bonded the
