The Little George and Garfield Crown Grant claims were located 10 kilometres northeast of Ymir on the northwest flank of Mount Dundee. The claims were crown-granted in 1901 and 1904 respectively (since reverted) with development since then consisting of one "very short" tunnel, a 3-metre shaft and four or five opencuts.

The area is underlain by biotite granodiorite of the Middle to Late Jurassic Nelson Intrusions. Metamorphosed sediments of the Lower and Middle Ordovician Active Formation (Pend d'Oreille schists) occur in a roof pendant within the Nelson batholith.

There are two principal veins on the Little George claim, located roughly along the margins of the schist which strikes at about 025 degrees. The west vein is 3 to 9 metres wide and dips steeply eastward. It outcrops for "several hundred feet" on a steep hillside and passes under soil at both ends. The "filling" is reported to consist of silicified schist and granite cut by numerous stringers and stockworks of quartz. Occasional specks of pyrite and some limonite are visible. The east vein is about 60 metres distant and has similar characteristics.

On the Garfield claim to the immediate southwest, there are several veins. The East vein of the Little George outcrops at several points and at least two other veins outcrop as well. It is not clear whether one of them is the west vein or not. The other vein is a apparently a spur about 1.2 to 1.5 metres thick, striking off into the granite; it is on this that a 3-metre deep shaft has been sunk. These veins are similar to the veins on the Little George claim.

A sample taken on 1.2 metres of quartz in an opencut on the Garfield claim yielded 9.6 grams per tonne gold and 54.86 grams per tonne silver (Starr, 1930 (Property File)).
