The Golden Eagle (Hardy) occurrence is located on the north side of Caribou Creek, approximately 1 kilometre east of the mouth of Mineral Creek.

The host rock is shown to be hornblende biotite quartz monzonite of the Cretaceous Goat Canyon-Halifax Creek stock (Geological Survey of Canada Bulletin 161), which intrudes lightly metamorphosed clastic sedimentary and mafic volcanic rocks of the Triassic Slocan Group. The Goat Canyon-Halifax Creek stock has been dated at 107 million years utilizing the potassium-argon method on biotite (Geological Survey of Canada Open File 464).

The showing is a northwest- trending quartz vein carrying "minor gold values" (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1896, page 74). The vein is 2.5 to 3 metres in thickness and contains a "mineralized streak" 25 to 45 centimetres in thickness along the hangingwall. No further information is available.

In 1896, an "opening" or adit, 6 metres deep, was excavated, from which material containing low gold values was extracted (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1896). Another adit is reported on the War Eagle (L.2583) Crown grant to the north. In 1972, Richwood Industries completed a program of soil sampling and a ground magnetic survey on the area as the RMW claim. In 1981, a program of prospecting and soil sampling was completed on the War Eagle Crown grant.
