About the Arlington Property

The Arlington property is located 17 km north of Beaverdell and 67 km south of Kelowna within the Boundary District of south-central British Columbia. The Property consists of five (5) mineral claims encompassing 1,572 ha that cover geologically prospective ground immediately north of the historic Beaverdell and Carmi mines, two landmark BC mining camps operational in the late 1800s/early 1900s through to 1991. Proximity to the Beaverdell and Carmi mining camps and geological similarities to both past-producers were key drivers in historical and new discoveries on the Property. The Property hosts numerous Minfile occurrences within the northern claims identified as structurally-controlled polymetallic Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn +/- Au veins, as well as an newly identified gold-copper-silver prospect within the southern Fresh Pots claims.
