The Rosebery galena-sphalerite veins are located 2 kilometres northeast of Rosebery, on the east side of Wilson Creek, east of Slocan Lake. The Ferry No. 2 occurrence (082KSW001) is located 2 kilometres to the northeast.

Flat lying galena-sphalerite-quartz veins cutting quartz monzonite are exposed in adits on the east side of Wilson Creek. The veins crosscut quartz monzonite (figure 3, Assessment Report 7514) of the Rosebery stock of unknown age (GSC Open File 432). The Rosebery stock is composed of quartz monzonite and granite and intrudes sedimentary rocks of the Triassic Slocan Group which is composed of quartzites, argillites and limestones. There is no additional published information on the occurrence.

Prospecting work is mentioned in 1935 (GSC Memoir 184) and possibly "development work" by "hand steel" in 1942 (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1942). In 1970, the ground was staked by Peter Leontowicz and optioned to United Bata Resources Limited (later Pan Ocean Oil Limited), who in 1970 (Assessment Report 2944) undertook reconnaissance soil sampling (875 samples analysed for molybdenum and copper). In 1979, Amax Potash Limited optioned the property and undertook a program of geological mapping and collected 369 soil and stream sediment samples which were analysed for 11 elements including lead, zinc and silver (Assessment Report 7514).
