Left Over Group (Locality 167) Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1916.

The Left Over group of two mineral claims is on Tchitin river north of the head of Illiance river. The mineral deposit is a quartz vein out- cropping on the side of a precipice. It is locally 5 feet wide and well mineralized with galena, pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and tetrahedrite.

LeRoy Group (Locality 153)

References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1926, 1927, and 1928. ;

The LeRoy group of eight mineral claims is on LeRoy mountain. Access is furnished by the Dak River trail which ends at the LeRoy cabin. The property has been developed by the Kitsault Eagle Silver Mines, Limited.

The group in 1926 consisted of fourteen claims, but in 1929 these were divided into the LeRoy group of eight claims and the Canyon group of six, claims. Numerous narrow quartz veins in iron-stained quartzite occur on the property. Some of the veins contain molybdenite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite. One vein contains pyrite, sphalerite, galena, and tetrahedrite.

Lone Maid Group (Locality 181)

References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines. British Columbia, 1916, 1922, and 1923; Geol. Surv., Canada, Sum. Rept. 1928, pt. A.

The Lone Maid group of mineral claims is on the west side of Kitsault river and somewhat over a mile from Alice Arm. It adjoins and lies north of the Esperanza group. The trail to the Alice group crosses the Lone Maid claims.

The country rock on the property is argillite striking northwest and dipping steeply southwest. The mineral deposit is a quartz-calcite vein. It strikes northeast, dips steeply northwest, is 1 to 5 feet wide, and has been traced for a distance of 75 feet. Pyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, and galena occur in very small amounts, The main Esperanza vein may continue north across the Lone Maid group.

Lone Star Group (Locality 179) Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1918.

The Lone Star group of five mineral claims is on the south slope of McGrath mountain and can be reached by the McGrath Mountain trail.

The mineral deposit is a large quartz vein up to 20 feet wide, locally mineralized with sphalerite and pyrite. The vein has been traced by open-cuts and adits for a distance of 1,500 feet or more. It is very sparsely mineralized with sulphides. The vein lies in argillite near the contact with a stock of augite porphyrite,
