About the Metropolitan property
The Metropolitan property is located at high elevation near the headwaters of Ferguson Creek, 10 kilometres northeast of Trout Lake community and 50 kilometres southeast of Revelstoke, B.C. Historic production of silver-lead-zinc in the area came from fold-related carbonate-hosted deposits in and near contacts between limestone and chlorite schist.
