The Tepee Trib occurrence is located about 30 kilometres south of Cranbrook and about 1 kilometre northwest of Tepee Creek. The area is underlain by sedimentary strata of the Helikian Creston Formation, Purcell Supergroup, mainly consisting of siltstone, argillite and quartzite. A 10-centimetre-wide interval of green argillite just northwest of Tepee Creek hosts disseminated chalcopyrite. The argillite contains sandy interbeds with chalcopyrite occurring along the interbeds. A sample (TK15-226) taken from this showing in 2015 assayed 0.13 per cent copper and 0.8 gram per tonne silver (Assessment Report 35769).

In 2015, Kootenay Silver Inc. continued mapping in the Jake Ridge (082GSW109), KRL (Jake (082GSW070) and Snake), Oke Creek areas; the Middle block which included Yahk Mountain to Haller Creek; and the South block which included the Gilnockie (creek) to North Ward (082GSW089) area (Assessment Report 36022). Prospecting and mapping identified some alteration zones where sufficient outcrop enabled recognition to the north at Silver Pipe (082GSW058), KRL (Sarah, 082GSW087), and Jake Ridge (082GSW109). Copper mineralization was previously recognized at Jake Ridge (082GSW109), Yahk Mountain (082GSW072), Haller Creek north (082GSW103), and Ward Creek (082GSW105). Also in 2015, Kootenay Silver collected 229 rock samples and conducted prospecting. Prospecting was focused on three areas during the program, from north to south they were the Jake Ridge (082GSW109), Yahk Ridge (082GSW072), and Ward Creek (082GSW105) areas (Assessment Report 35769 and 36064). Several small copper showings were documented and subsequently added to MINFILE (see 082GSW099 to 110).
