Report: The Waylett mine was not located even though the general area was walked and the area where the mine symbol on the map is located was searched. No signs of recent exploration was found when the area was visited on 07/1998. These tungsten claims were first prospected in 1905 (Johns, 1970) and the area was the target of continued exploration in the 1950s. Johns reported that there was an inclined shaft but most of the exploration and development work was done by trenching. The mineralization was scheelite in quartz hosted by Wallace Formation.
