LOCATION

The Bayonne Mine i s l o c a t e d a t an approximate e l e v a t i o n of 6000 f e e t

on the western slopes of John B u l l Mountain on Bayonne Creek. I t i s h a l f :

way between Creston a t the south end of Kootenay Lake and the mining town

of Salmo© ( i . e . 15 miles t o e i t h e r p o i n t . ) The former gold camp of Sheep

Creek l i e s 7 m i l e s t o the west. This camp had as g o l d - s i l v e r producers the

f o l l o w i n g mines: Sheep Creek Gold Mines, Kootenay B e l l e , Reno, and Gold B e l t ,

I t i s thus l o c a t e d i n a mining center which has produced many

m i l l i o n s of d o l l a r s from g o l d - s i l v e r ores©

TOPOGRAPHY

The general e l e v a t i o n of the claims range from 5000 f e e t to 7400

f e e t . They are i n the S e l k i r k Mountain system. The peaks are w e l l

rounded and are f a i r l y h e a v i l y wooded up t o the summits. Altough the

topography has been mo d i f i e d by g l a c i a t i o n the depth of i c e c o v e r i n g t h i s

area could not have been too t h i c k because i t was unable to remove the

p r e g l a c i a l weathering and the aone of o x i d a t i o n extends t o a depth of

about 450 f e e t below the s u r f a c e . This deep seated weathering i s of importance

t o the d i s t r i b u t i o n of the gold values and t h e i r recovery as w i l l be d i scussed

CLAIMS

The Bayonne Mine c o n s i s t s of 17 claims which have been Crown Granted

and 12 claims which are h e l d by the r i g h t of l o c a t i o n . The names of these

claims are:

The 12 Bayonne claims were staked and recorded at Kelson B.C.

and are i n good standing u n t i l 2 0 J u l 6 3 .

The property contains approximently 1200 a c r e s , more or l e s s .

HISTORY

The property dates back t o 1901 wkeivthe f i r s t claims were staked.

E a r l y de v e l o unent was l i m i t e d by t r a n s p o r t a t i o n problems and despi t e very

encouraging showings l i t t l e was done u n t i l 1936 when the property was taken

over by Baymnne Consolidated Mines Ltd„ This company erected a 60 ton

cyanide m i l l and operated i t u n t i l 1939 when operations were c u r t a i l e d i n

favour of an extensive e x p l o r a t i o n and development program. This work was

s u f f i c i e n t t o keep the m i l l i n continous operation from A p r i l , 1940 t o

August, 1942 when the property was fo r c e d t o suspend operations due to wartime

shortages and r e g u l a t i o n s of labour and s u p p l i e s * I t remained dormant u n t i l

the l a t e summer of 1945. At t h i s time i t was reopened and renovated but once

again labour and m a t e r i a l shortages f o r c e d i t s c l o s u r e i n J u l y , 1946 c

I n t e r r a i t t a n t l e a s e r s operated the property u n t i l 1951 and i t was

i n a c t i v e u n t i l the present Bayonne Mine L t d . was formed i n J u l y , 1962.

Production

During the h i s t o r y of t h i s property 35>000 tons of ore was m i l l e d or

shipped and i t recovered 40,000 ounces of gold and 95,000 ounces of s i l v e r n

No attempt was made to recover any base metal content,* One dividend of

525,000.00 was paid during the war year of 1942.

FACILITIES

A* Transportation

There are two access routes t o the Bayonne Mine. Tho f i r s t , which i s

the o l d r o u t e , s t a r t e d a t Tye S i d i n g on the west sid e of Kootenay l a k e , on

the K e t t l e V a l l e y Line of the Canadian P a c i f i c Railway i s a modified wagon

The second r o u t e , which i s part of the Salmo-Creston Southern P r o v i n c i a l

Highway road l i n k extends from Croston up Sumit Creek, through a low pass

and down Sheep Creek to Salmo.

C^pany's smelter a t T r a i l .

B. Power

No power i s a v a i l a b l e on the property. D i e s e l - e l e c t r i c power w i l l

Ample timber i s a v a i l a b l e on the property f o r a l l mining purposes*

Sawn lumber can be purchased r t S.^lmo Dr Creston.

E. Housing

Two l a r g e bunkhouses w i t h accommodation f o r f o r t y men are i n e x c e l l e n t

c o n d i t i o n w i t h the exception t h a t the plywood p a r t i t i o n s , snd plumbing .

DEVELOPMENT

Two v e i n s , the "A" and the "Main" v e i n have been developed by 8

i s approximately 100 f e e t end range from 6900 f e e t e l e v a t i o n a t No. 1 to

6100 f e e t at No. 8. Mine Maps prepared by Messrs,. Rutherford and K i n g

EQUIPMENT

A. Mine

There i s an adequate supply of mine c a r s , r a i l , e t c . , on the

property to permit the s t a r t of and e x p l o r a t i o n and development program.

GEOLOGY

The Bayonne Mine i s l o c a t e d i n a small g r a n i t i c stock of Cretaceous

age. I t c o n s i s t s of a f i n e t o medium - g r a i n e d , l i g h t grey rock f a i r l y uniform

and b i o t i t e appear i n about equal amounts* Epidote a l t e r a t i o n i s a common

f e a t u r e . This stock has been named the Mine Stock*

Adjacent t o the Mine Stock and l y i n g t o the northeast i s a much l a r g e r

g r a n i t i c i n t r u s i v e which has been designated as the Bayonne b a t h o l i t h . I t

d i f f e r s from the Mine Stock i n t h a t i t contains almost no amphibole and the

p l a g i o c l a s e i s more basic and t h a t there i s a great v a r i a t i o n i n g r a i n s i z e

and colour even w i t h i n the same outcrop. A l s o pegmatitic dykes occur much

more f r e q u e n t l y .

While no c r o s s - c u t t i n g f e a t u r e s have been found there i s reason t o

places i t i s occupied by a quartz v e i n from a few inches t o 10 f e e t wide.

The wide part of the zone i s no t , however, s o l i d q u a r t z , but r a t h e r composed

of the v e i n s , there i s no r e c o r d of the s i l v e r , l e a d , z i n c , or copper.

been obtained. Below the o x i d i z e d ore shoots there i s a zone, apparently

i n primary ore, which assays from 0.5 to 1 ounce of gold a ton. This extends

to a depth of 50 f e e t below the l i m i t of oxlcftzed ore. Below t h i s zone again

there i s l i t t l e or no change i n the appearance of the ore, but the values

drop to about 0.40 ounce gold a ton„ The most p l a u s i b l e explanation of t h i s

r i c h zone i s t h a t some of the gold has come from the zone above and has been

deposited i n some form not yet recognized. The s u l p h i t e content of each

ore-shoot, however, apnears to be d r e s s i n g at depth* The change A

i n gold content may, t h e r e f o r e , be due due t o zoning i n the primary ore

EXPLORATION POSSIBILITIES

E x p l o r a t i o n p o s s i b i l i t i e s l o r i n c r e a s i n g the ore reserves are

considered gooc. Considerable underground work i s warranted to explore the

l a t e r a l ^nd v e r t i c a l extensions of the known ore shoots, which i n my

opinion,are defin«-ULy not bottomed. The p o s s i b l e occurence of p a r a l l e l

v eins and structure.'', should be i n v e s t i g a t e d e i t h e r by diamond d r i l l i n g ,
