The Car claims are located on an eastern ridge of Mount Thompson, approximately 10.5 kilometres east of Creston.

Regionally, the property is underlain by argillite, greywacke, wacke and conglomerate turbidites of the Aldridge Formation and Proterozoic Purcell Supergroup.

Locally, medium to thick and very thick bedded siltstone and lesser quartzite of the Middle Aldridge Formation occur. Rusty weathering sequences of thin to very thin silty argillite and argillite are typically interbedded with the coarser clastics. Two gabbro sills, approximately 100 metres thick, and rare small gabbro dikes of the Moyie intrusive outcrop on the property.

Iron and base metal sulphides are hosted by a large Sullivan- type fragmental complex. The Car fragmental deposit is mainly a discordant structure with associated vented concordant layers of fragmental, quartzite, argillite and dolomite. The fragmental complex can be traced on strike at surface for 1000 metres in a northerly direction. Drill hole data shows that the fragmental body dips near vertical and is 100 metres thick.

Mineralization occurs as euhedral pyrite disseminations in calcite veinlets along with pyrrhotite, sphalerite and galena.

The property was staked, in 1995, by Consolidated Ramrod Gold Corporation. Ramrod cut a grid on the property and completed a soil geochemical survey. Black Bull Resources Inc., in 1998 expanded the soil geochemistry and conducted a follow-up prospecting program. In 1998, Chapleau Resources Ltd. joint ventured the property with Black Bull. Work, in 1998, included geological mapping and a diamond drill program, totalling 2400 metres in 9 holes. During 2004 through 2012, Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. completed programs of geological mapping, geochemical (soil and rock) sampling and airborne geophysical surveys on the area as apart of the Iron Range property. A completed property exploration history can be found at the O-Ray (MINFILE 082FSE017) occurrence.
