The Ocean occurrence, consists of workings on three Reverted Crown grants, Reciprocity (Lot 1722), Ocean (Lot 1723) and Lillian No. 4 (Lot 1724). It is located on the northeast side of Carpenter Creek valley, 7.5 kilometres northeast of New Denver, British Columbia.

Underlying rocks at the Ocean occurrence are predominantly carbonaceous and argillaceous slates of the Triassic Slocan Group. These slates are intruded by a small diorite stock and numerous felsic dikes. A more detailed description of the local geology is given in the Monitor occurrence (082KSW004).

Mineralization consists of dikes with tetrahedrite and galena (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1896, page 72) and a mineralized shear zone in the diorite stock (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 184, page 98).

Workings consisted of five or more adits, three or more of which were thought to intersect an extension of the Payne lode (082KSW006).

A small shoot of silver-lead ore was discovered on the Ocean Reverted Crown grant in 1919 from which 3 tonnes of ore was mined, grading 3600 grams per tonne silver and 60 per cent lead (GSC Memoir 184, page 98).
