The Bull claims are located near the west shore of Arrow Lake approximately nine kilometres west of the community of Nakusp. Access is good on several old logging roads which lead north from the Arrow Park ferry landing, 21.4 kilometres by road south of the property.

No base metal sulphide minerals have been identified on the property, however, two lithogeochemical samples (samples 27281 and samples 17282, Assessment Report 22651) from gossanous, pyritic biotite schist assayed 0.48 and 1.14 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 22651). The area is underlain mainly by highly metamorphosed rocks of the Precambrian- Paleozoic Shuswap Metamorphic Complex. On the property, quartzites and biotite schists contain 1-2 per cent disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite. Marble and amphibolite are also present. The Shuswap metamorphic rocks have been tightly deformed into isoclinal folds, and appear to form a broad synform with a west-northwest trending axial plane and a shallow plunge to the northwest. Pegmatite sills and dikes of the Tertiary Ladyberg intrusions are common on the property (Assessment Report 22651).

Teck Exploration Limited staked the Bull 1 to 6 claims in 1991 and in 1992 completed a program of gridding (19.9 kilometres), soil sampling (412 samples with analyses for 30 elements including zinc, silver and nickel), magnetometer surveying (3 kilometres), lithogeochemical sampling (12 samples analysed for 30 elements) and geological mapping (23 square kilometres).
