I dont have the exact number in front of me, but the region and mines surrounding the workings that Klondike controls produced millions upon millions of ounces of silver and only shut down because the price of silver went down. The "Silvery Slocan" as the area is called has some of BCs richest mineral belts. I must note though that most of the ore in the area is higher in lead and zinc at depth, the silver grades appear in wide high value nudes which are connected by stringer veins. The Payne Mine in pic produced 150m Oz over 4 different versions of the mine in 40 years. They only tapped 10% of the original vein too.
