The Homestake group of 4 claims is about 800 metres from the Ethel (082KNW059). The Homestake vein is about 1.2 metres thick of which 10 centimetres is galena and 10 centimetres is carbonate, the remainder being grey quartz.
Development work in 1898 consisted of a 20-metre cross-cut to a vein and a 21-metre drift long the vein. Underlying rocks consist of Lower Paleozoic Lardeau Group metasediments.
