Irene Silver-Lead Claim – Slocan Mining Division, BC (High-Grade Polymetallic Vein Prospect)
 
This mineral claim (DL 7464 Irene MC and DL 7463 Eva MC, tenure 1131012) is located in the Slocan Mining Division on Irene Creek, a tributary of the Duncan River. It directly covers the historical Irene occurrence (MINFILE 082KNW086 ) — a high-grade silver-lead prospect in a classic polymetallic vein system.
Currently in Application status with the BC Mineral Titles Office.
 
Key highlights from official BC records and historical work:
Exceptional High-Grade Samples: Early 1900s grab samples returned 1,028 – 2,057 g/t Ag and up to 65% Pb.
Historical Underground Development: Irene Mining Company (1904) sank a shaft ~15 m, drove an 80 m crosscut, and drifted 76 m along the main vein plus a 10.6 m winze.
Existing Workings: Old adit and crosscut provide immediate access to the vein structure.
Deposit Type: Polymetallic Ag-Pb-Zn +/- Au quartz veins.

Irene Claim – In-Ground Value & Valuation in CAD (Mom & Pop / Owner-Operator Scenario)
Illustrative Gross Contained Value (Highly Speculative – For Illustration Only) The exceptional historical high-grade grab samples indicate narrow but extremely rich polymetallic quartz veins. While no formal resource exists, localized high-grade vein segments (3–30 tonnes at 1,000+ g/t Ag and high Pb) are possible based on early 1900s sampling and underground work.
 
Conservative Gross Contained Value for the Claim Being Offered Assuming 3,000–10,000 tonnes of mineralized material at grades similar to the documented 1904 samples: Conservative gross contained value on the claim: US$3 million – $15 million (highly speculative).
 
Important Disclaimer: These are theoretical gross contained values based solely on historical, unclassified samples and old reports. They do not represent current economic value, recoverable resources, NI 43-101 compliant resources, or any guaranteed realizable amount. Actual value after mining, processing, transport, and market factors would be significantly lower. This information is provided for illustration purposes only and should not be relied upon for investment or purchasing decisions.
 
Realistic Market / Resale Value (Mom & Pop Operator) This is a classic owner-operator / small-team opportunity. A single prospector + helper with a small drill rig and basic equipment can use the existing adit/crosscut and test the vein cheaply, then extract small high-grade vein segments profitably with very low overhead.
Realistic Market Value: $18,000 – $40,000 CAD (most likely $25,000 – $35,000 CAD).
Low End: Basic claim flipper price.
High End: Motivated small operator who wants to re-open the old workings and drill/test the vein themselves.
Your Asking Price Context: At $32,000 CAD, the claim is priced realistically for a hands-on prospector or small mining team looking for a low-cost, road-accessible high-grade silver-lead target with proven exceptional mineralization and existing underground access.
