The property is located at elevations of approximately 1,219 to 1829 metres on the north side of St. Mary River, between Office and Morris Creeks, some 40.2 kilometres west-westnorthwest of Kimberley.

The Bracebridge group of 6 claims, the Bracebridge, Gracie, Denbigh, Regina, Snowden, and Brace Bridge Fr (Lots 5037, 5575-5579 respectively) was surveyed in 1901. Crown grants were issued in 1903 for the Bracebridge, Regina and Denbigh claims to J.H. Wright, O.H. Burden & associates. The showing had originally been exposed by erosion. Work to 1904 included open cuts on the Bracebridge claim and apparently some underground work on the Regina claim.

The Joe and Goat groups comprising 22 recorded claims were under option to Cominco Ltd. in 1966. Diamond drilling totalled 200.5 metres in 6 holes. The option was relinquished later in the year.

Pharaoh Mines Ltd. optioned the Joe, Goat and Don groups comprising 12 recorded claims from D.C. Jackson late in 1967. Work during the year included bulldozer trenching, sampling, and percussion drilling in four 12.1 metre holes.

Meridian Resources Ltd. optioned the Joe 1 & 2 and Don 1 & 2 claims from D.C. Jackson and staked about 30 adjacent claims in the Joe, Winnie, Vera and Silvertip groups. A geochemical soil survey was carried out in 1977.

Minor chalcopyrite occurs in veins up to 1.5 metres wide. The hostrock is strongly contorted biotite schist. The area is underlain by rocks of the Middle Proterozoic Creston Formation, Purcell Supergroup. Trenches north of St. Mary River expose the showings. The hostrock is also described as a schistose dolomitic argillite.
