The Chris barite showing is located on the west side of Lost Dog Lake on Lost Dog Creek, approximately 8.5 kilometres northwest of Tata Creek. Access is by logging roads from Tata Creek. The claims were staked in 1978 to cover barite mineralization. Hostrocks are argillaceous dolomite and limestone of the Helikian Kitchener Formation. Several outcrops expose barite as cement in an east-west trending crush zone within argillaceous dolomite. Four hand trenches were dug and two, about 3 metres apart, expose barite mineralization up to 50 centimetres wide. Two blocks of baritic dolomite, 1.2 metres in diameter and 6 metres apart, were reported (Assessment Report 8793).
