The entrance to the mine often contains pooled water, but the interior is relatively dry and contains many undisturbed geological formations (first, second).
Several Kelowna locals[2] have reported the entrance to the mine to be at the alternate coordinates of 49°59′2″N 119°30′59″W / 49.98389°N 119.51639°W / 49.98389; -119.51639, at an elevation of 965 meters.
The claims to an area covering 3 km² -- including the Blue Hawk Mine—may have been sold by Armac to Southern Pacific Development Corp. of Vancouver, BC, in 2004 or 2005.
[4][5][6] Page 13 of F. Marchall Smith's Assessment Report (dated December 18, 1994) contains a detailed map of the area around the mine, including the adit.
Recent exploration of the mine has shown that the ceiling has collapsed and is now impassable in the adit beneath "Trench 5".
