The Bear claims are located near the headwaters of Leadville Creek; access is by Forest Service road branching off at kilometre 8.5 of the Leadville/Goat River road. Mineralization discovered as a result of prospecting and soil sampling on the Bear property consists of minor malachite and bornite associated with semimassive magnetite within a gabbro of the Proterozoic Moyie intrusions near its inferred contact with Middle Aldridge Formation (Purcell Supergroup) sedimentary rocks, which include quartzite, siltstone and argillaceous wacke. The mineralization occurs within diopsidic, fine-grained gabbro, suggesting a skarn-type occurrence.
