The Soldier Boy property is on Sunset Mountain, about a kilometre southwest of Silver Crest, 18 kilometres east of Slocan City. Access to the property is about 8 kilometres by trail proceeding easterly from the Lemon Creek road. The property is located in Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park.

The target of exploration on the property is a mineralized fissure (lead) containing silver sulphides developed in Nelson granite. This fissure, of indeterminate width, strikes almost vertically down the face of a precipitous bluff and across the mountain towards the southeast, at right angles to the trend of the summits. Work has been confined to the only two accessible points, which are at the top and bottom of the bluff. The upper workings are reached by a circuitous route over the rugged ground southwest of the bluff.

At the top, at about 2400 metres elevation, stringers of ore are exposed in open cuts and a 20-metre long crosscut from the cliff face. An average sample from these cuts reportedly assayed 1.4 grams per tonne gold and 2500 grams per tonne silver (Annual Report 1921, page 141).

Below the portal the bluff falls almost vertically for 430 metres towards Lemon Creek. At the bottom of the bluff stringers of ore are exposed in another open cut. Sample from here assayed 15.8 grams per tonne gold and 2530 grams per tonne silver (Annual Report 1921, page 141).
