The Rose and Daisy occurrence is situated on the ridge between the Columbia and Spillimacheen rivers at a point almost opposite Castledale. About 30 metres of tunnelling was done in an effort to develop some small surface showings, but the results did not come up to expectations and the work was abandoned. Elsewhere on the property there is a strong surface showing of low-grade lead ore reported to have given excellent results (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1920, pages N108, N109).

The geology of the area is inferred from Geological Survey of Canada Map 1501A. In the occurrence area, Hadrynian Horsethief Creek Group sedimentary rocks are indicated. The group consists of shales and silty shales with thin interbeds of quartz siltstone and sandstone, limestone and dolomite, sandstone and quartz pebble conglomerate, and interbedded quartz sandstone and slate. Nearby is the contact with the Hadrynian to Lower Cambrian Hamill Group.
