The Sidley Group of claims are located approximately 30 kilometres east of Osoyoos and 6 kilometres west of Bridesville on Highway 3. Highway 3, numerous trails and secondary roads traverse the claims and provide excellent access.

The property is underlain by Carboniferous-Permian Anarchist metasediments comprised of quartzite, paragneisses including quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss, biotite schist, phyllite, siliceous greywacke and amphibolite. Locally these are in contact with a plagioclase diorite porphyry which is about 40 metres wide. The contact between the porphyry and the metasediments appears to be parallel to the bedding in the metasediments.

Along about 90 metres of Highway 3, weakly banded, siliceous quartz biotite gneiss contains quartz-carbonate in fractures with less than 1 per cent pyrite and chalcopyrite generally in the fractures but may be disseminated. Alteration includes hematite, limonite, epidote, carbonate and manganese stain.

Ground magnetometer surveys were carried out on the Sidley Group of claims by L. Lehman in 1992 and 1993. In 1996, old pits, diggings and outcrops were examined and mapped.

During 2008 through 2012, Grizzly Discoveries Inc. completed programs of geochemical (rock, stream sediment and soil) sampling, geological mapping and airborne and ground geophysical surveys on the Dayton-Sidley area of the Greenwood Property.
