The Toney group is located on the western side of Boundary Creek, approximately 2.5 kilometres southwest of Greenwood.

The western edge of the Toney group is underlain by sharpstone conglomerate which appears to overlie massive white to grey quartzite or chert on the east. The chert is underlain with interbedded siltstone and greywacke with irregular bands and pods of white to grey chert. Intrusive diorite underlies the northeastern and eastern part of the group. The sediments strike southerly and dip steeply to the west.

Mineralization reported by Mapletree Exploration Corporation in 1973 consisted of chalcopyrite and pyrite as disseminations and fracture fillings in diorite of the Jurassic to Cretaceous Nelson Intrusions. Pyrrhotite occurs in massive form on the eastern part of the property where a diorite pluton intrudes metasediments. The 1973 claims included the Toney and several others and work consisted of mapping on all the claims. In 1972, Phelps Dodge operated the claim group owned by Fury Explorations Ltd with work consisting of line cutting and mapping focused on the Gotcha 12-15 claims.

The Toney Fraction was Crown-granted in 1919 to James Henry Goodeve. Skomac Mines were reported to have optioned part of the Toney group in 1962, but no record of work is available. In 1967, Utah Construction and Mining Co. optioned the property and conducted an induced polarization and resistivity survey over 9.3 line kilometres. Two diamond-drill holes totalling 187 metres were put down to test the resulting geophysical anomaly. No results were published of the drilling. In 1991, a geophysical program was completed on the Sam claims.

During 2000 through 2016, the area has been explored in conjunction with the nearby Wild Rose (MINFILE 082ESE116) occurrence and a complete property exploration history can be found there.
