Rich Mining Property in Lardeau District Shines
Within a small mining section in the Lardeau district several claims show high grade ore after winter development. The Silver Cup property owned by Holden Down Walker and McDonald reports a well defined ledge widening with a tunnel drive and about three carloads of ore on the dump ready to ship assaying from 300 to 1100 oz per ton in silver. Poor wagon access remains the main hurdle to wider development.
