The Gold-Galena prospect is located just east of Heather Lake, in the headwater area of Enterprise Creek, 17 kilometres east of the town of Slocan. Access to the property is by trail from the Enterprise Creek road. The prospect is located in Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park.

Two adit tunnels have been driven north along a shear zone for about 30 metres. In the upper tunnel the vein, located on the footwall of the shear, is 45 centimetres wide. The mineralization consists of galena, sphalerite, and pyrite in quartz. The country rock in vicinity of the property is a coarse feldspar porphyry granite phase of the Nelson batholith. The wallrocks of the vein show argillic and limonitic alteration.
