The Dominion showing is located between Nicholson and Fiva creeks, approximately 15 kilometres northwest of Greenwood. In 1996, a program of rock, soil and silt sampling was performed on the property. In 2005, the area was restaked under the Golden Ribbon claims.

The area is underlain by chert, greenstone and limestone of the Knob Hill Group, in part overlain the basal sharpstone and overlying green tuffaceous sandstone of the Triassic Brooklyn Formation.

Locally, a number of old workings (pits, shallow shafts and adits) are dug on beds of massive pyrite and pyrrhotite with lesser chalcopyrite and, sphalerite. These massive sulphide zones are typically flat to gently east dipping, and range in thickness up to 2 metres, where exposed in the old workings. These are hosted in quartzites, siliceous tuffs and altered volcanics of the Knob Hill Group. In 1996, sampling returned 250 to 400 parts per billion gold and 200 to greater than 2,000 parts per million copper (Assessment Report 24803).

Several workings also expose mineralized structures or veins that clearly cross-cut stratigraphy. Typically these cross-cutting structures are mineralized with pyrite and arsenopyrite in a vuggy quartz gangue. In 1996, samples of vein material returned values on the order of 250 parts per billion gold (Assessment Report 24803).

Disseminated sulphides (pyrrhotite, pyrite, sphalerite) occur in epidote-hematite altered volcanics in several workings. In 1996, sampling returned 1,000 to 2,500 parts per million zinc and 1500 to 2800 parts per million manganese (Assessment Report 24803).

During 2008 through 2012, Grizzly Discoveries Inc. completed programs of geochemical sampling, geological mapping and ground geophysical surveys on the area as the Greenwood property.
