Red Point Group (Locality 142)

1926, 1927, and 1930.

The Red Point group of three mineral claims is north of Evindsen
creek. Access is by the Red Point trail which branches from the Kitsault
trail a short distance north of Evindsen creek.

In 1916 some diamond drilling was done on the group by the Granby
Consolidated Mining, Smelting, and Power Company, but the results were
disappointing and the option was dropped. The property was taken under
option in 1927 by the Spencer interests of Vancouver, B.C., but after driving
an adit 1,000 feet long the option was dropped.

The country rock consists of felsitic rocks and probably some tuffs
somewhat sheared and greatly altered. The rocks contain much pyrite
and oxidation has stained them red. The mineral deposits are quartz veins,
up to 4 feet wide, and silicified zones, of uncertain but greater widths,
mineralized with chalcopyrite and pyrite. Locally, parts a foot or so wide
of a silicified band are practically solid chalcopyrite, but the whole band of
rock 20 feet or so wide may be very low grade. The veins and silicified
bands strike northwesterly and appear to have steep dips. The long adit
was driven practically parallel to the trend of the mineral zones. If further
work is done, the deposits should first be explored on the surface.

Rex Claim (Locality 149)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1924.

The Rex claim is on Kitsault river about 15 miles from Alice Arm. The
mineral deposit on the claim is a quartz vein striking northwest, dipping
southwest, and mineralized locally with pyrite.

Riverside Group (Locality 159)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1916.

The Riverside group of six mineral claims is on the east side of Kit-
sault river about 5 miles from Alice Arm. Bodies of quartz and sulphide
occur which appear to be small but which have not been outlined to show
their length or width. The mineralization is chiefly zine blende with some
chalcopyrite, galena, and pyrite.

Ruby Group (Locality 144)

References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1919, 1920,
and 1921; Geol. Surv., Canada, Sum. Rept. 1921, pt. A.

The Ruby group of two mineral claims adjoins the Toric group and
is east of Kitsault river about 17 miles from Alice Arm. The mineral
deposit is a vein up to 8 feet wide lying in intrusive and extrusive felsite.
The vein has been traced for several hundred feet but contains little
sulphide except pyrite.
