The Gold Vein occurrences are located on the western side of a large south facing cirque to the north of Copeland Creek. The showing is exposed at an elevation of approximately 1940 metres.

The area is within the Monashee Metamorphic Complex, which is regionally metamorphosed to amphibolite grade, and on the south eastern side of the Frenchmap Cap gneiss dome. The rocks are mainly medium-grained, biotite-feldspar granitic gneiss.

Locally, massive galena in a barite and carbonate vein is exposed over 12 metres in length and a width of up to 0.5 metre. This vein trends approximately 30 degrees and dip 70 degrees east. Several narrow quartz veins parallel the main vein. In 1989, a grab sample (WG-13) assayed 27.90 grams per tonne gold and 527.0 grams per tonne silver with 20.60 percent lead and 1.89 percent zinc (Property File - W. Cameron (1990-09-05): Re: Assay certificates and claim maps - Wild Goose). In 2001, a rock samples (595-R15) yielded up to 16.64 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 26829).

The area was originally explored in the late 1890’s as the Goose Chase claims. In 1989, mineralization was discovered by Frances Jenkins, Ruby Cameron and Bill Cameron and the area was staked and prospected as the Wild Goose claims. In 2001, New Blue Ribbon Resources completed a program of rock sampling and geological mapping. In 2012, International Millennium Mining completed a program of soil and stream sampling on the area.
