The Limpid North occurrence is located immediately east of Limpid Creek at an elevation of approximately 1000 metres.

Regionally, the area is underlain by quartzites, pelites, phyllites, limestone and argillites of the Cambrian Laib Formation; basaltic volcanic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Elise Formation (Rossland Group) and undivided Paleozoic sedimentary rocks. Granodioritic rocks of the Cretaceous Anstey pluton are exposed to the northeast.

Locally, a thin lens of banded, very fine grained sulphides, including galena and sphalerite, occurs in a thin quartz lens or vein, conformable to foliation in basaltic to andesitic volcanics.

In 2008, a rock sample (918379) assayed 1.10 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 30828).

The area has been historically explored since the 1800s in conjunction with the nearby Bunker Hill (MINFILE 082FSW002) past-producing mine.

In 1971, Abella Resources Ltd. mapped and soil sampled the area as the Ness claims. In 1983, Rex Silver Mines Ltd. completed a program of rock, silt and soil sampling; geological mapping and a ground electromagnetic survey on the area as the Waneta 1-10 claims. In 1985, Noranda Mining and Exploration Inc. completed a program of rock and silt sampling, geological mapping and ground geophysical surveys on the area as the Swift 10 claim.

During 1988 through 1990, International Corona Corp. completed programs of soil and silt sampling, geological mapping and a 2660.0 line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey on the area as the Elise 1-61 claims.

During 1997 through 2002, William Howard completed programs of rock and soil sampling, geological mapping and a 5.2 line-kilometre ground electromagnetic survey on the area as the Cly property.
