The occurrence is located approximately 15 kilometres west of Adams Lake, 20 kilometres north of the small town of Scotch Creek.

The property is underlain in the west by Lower Paleozoic Eagle Bay metavolcanics and metasediments consisting of chlorite schist, mica schist, greenstone and quartzite. The eastern part of the claim is underlain by granitic rocks of Cretaceous age. The property containing the occurrence is underlain by the Eagle Bay Assemblage unit EBG6 comprised of carbonaceous and calcareous phyllite, minor quartzite, diopside-amphibole gneiss, and calc-silicate and the Eagle Bay Assemblage unit EBG5 comprised of sericite and calcareous phyllite, chlorotic and carbonaceous phyllite, minor marble. Both units contain shallow dipping foliation-oriented east to northeast strike, and 10 to 30 degrees dips to the north to northwest (MacIntyre, D. (2016-11-26): Technical Report, Berger-Golden Eagle Mineral Property).

Several mineralized veins, striking north to northeast and dipping to the west, occur within the metamorphic and granitic rocks. Mineralization consists of pyrite, chalcopyrite, magnetite, and limonite with minor sphalerite, galena and arsenopyrite.

In 1949, Pioneer Gold Mines Ltd. completed the earliest recorded work including geological mapping surveys.

In 1979, Alpine Silver Ltd. completed diamond drilling on the property. No significant base metals were encountered in the pyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization intersected while drilling.

In 1981, Corinthian Mines Ltd. conducted a small drilling program on the Golden Eagle and Berger property.

In 1983 to 1984, Mackenzie Range Gold Inc. completed a prospecting survey on the Golden Eagle occurrence and a property wide magnetometer geophysics survey.

In 1987 to 1988, geochemical prospecting and soil sampling was completed by Mineta Resources Ltd. Anomalous silver, lead, and zinc values were observed across the soil sampling grid.

In 2014, Nexco completed an exploration program including geological mapping, geochemical sampling, prospecting, and ground magnetometer geophysics. Highlighted results include sample GOL002 a rock chip sample of 0.30 metres width returning grades of 1 gram per tonne gold, 6.78 percent lead, and 23.3 percent zinc, and sample GOL015 a grab sample grading 22.4 percent lead, 16.6 percent zinc, and 138 grams per tonne silver (MacIntyre, D.
