NO ACCESS AVAILABLE FOR FRANCES CREEK - Previous N 43 101!!!The outcrop zone of the Frances Creek barite deposit is found from elevation 1332 m to 1569 m along an erosional spur which is located on the SE face of Horeb Mountain. Access to the outcrop zone is via a steep switchback road constructed by a backhoe. This is a very rough road; numerous timber dead falls and minor rock falls are present in the portions accessed by the writers. The writers had to clear these obstacles in order to visit the lower portions of the prospect. The writers did not visit the upper portions of the prospect, primarily due to time-of-day considerations. We did not want to have to negotiate the steep switchbacks back down the mountain after night fall. This access road will have to be cleared of timber deadfalls and rock falls prior to initiation of future drilling or mining activities at this prospect. With respect to future underground mining operations, the lower elevations of this prospect can be accessed year round when logging is operational. However snow clearance would be required in the winter months when there is no logging activity. The upper elevations of the prospect will probably be inaccessible from November through mid - May.
