The Osprey claim is located at 1950 metres elevation on a steep east-west ridge between the headwaters of Jack Creek and a tributary to Boulder Creek, 4.5 kilometres southeast of Kuskanook on Kootenay Lake.

Regionally, the area is underlain by sedimentary rocks of the Horsethief Creek Group, part of the Windermere Supergroup of Upper Proterozoic age. In this area, these rocks comprise phyllite, quartzite and grit, metamorphosed to biotite facies of greenschist grade regionally and partly contact metamorphosed due to proximity to the Bayonne batholith, a mid-Cretaceous granodiorite to granite. Mineralization is described as traces of galena, sphalerite and free gold in a quartz vein.
