The Boyd West occurrence is in the southeast headwaters of Boyd Creek at an elevation of approximately 2000 metres.

Rock units in the area have been mapped as belonging to the Cambrian to Devonian Index Formation (Lardeau Group) but recent interpretations indicate that several of the limestone units may belong to the Lower Cambrian Badshot Formation, repeated through folding.

Locally, 2 to 10 per cent galena stingers and disseminations occur within quartz veins and siderite altered limestone.

In 2007, a rock sample (RMK7052) assayed 29.50 per cent lead, 4.04 per cent zinc, 0.145 per cent copper and 141 grams per tonne silver (Fingler, J. (2010-01-25): Technical Report on the Kootenay Arc Property).
