The Ramy claims are located on an unnamed creek flowing into Kinbasket Lake, approximately 2.2 kilometres west of the mouth of the Bush River. The showing was discovered in 2004, and in 2008 six auger drill holes were completed extending the main tufa deposit.

Regionally, the property is underlain by limestone, marble, calcareous sedimentary rocks of Middle Cambrian Kinbasket unit, and mudstone and siltstone sedimentary rocks of Tsar Creek.

Locally, an outcrop of tufa rock is well exposed along the Big Bend logging road. The outcrop has been followed along a local creek flowing north for approximately 200 metres and the dimension of the outcrop is 200 metres in length, 3 to 5 metres in height, and approximately 80 metres in width (Assessment Report 30122).

The Tufa rock is described as a bright white to light creamy colour when it is freshly exposed, and has a light brown colour when it is exposed to the rain and other weathering. The surface texture is usually pitted with tiny cavities and moss- like texture. Some rocks have rounded or semi-rounded large cavities (Assessment Report 30122).
