The Lempriere carbonatite is easily reached by trails and logging roads which cross the North Thompson River and intersect Highway 5 at Lempriere Station, approximately 40 kilometres north of Blue River. It lies 1.55 kilometres east-northeast of the Verity occurrence (083D 005) and 1.90 kilometres southeast of the Mill occurrence (083D 034). A detailed description of the regional geologic setting is given in the Verity occurrence, immediately to the south.

Two areas east of the Verity occurrence were examined and sampled in 1982. The upper and most easterly of these two areas, consisting of outcrop exposed by an uprooted tree, is the Lempriere showing. This may be part of an exposure mapped in 1952 (Geological Survey of Canada Economic Geology No. 18, p. 32). The carbonatite is similar to exposure in the Specimen Pit at the Verity occurrence.

A total of six samples were taken from the Lempriere showing in 1981. Pyrochlore was visible in some chips from samples 3829 and 3830. The weighted average grades from three 0.3-metre chip samples (3828 to 3830) are 0.0118 per cent Tantalum, 0.0433 per cent Nb2O5 and 2.34 per cent P2O5 (Assessment Report 10274). An additional three samples (625 to 627) were taken in 1982. Analytical results ranged from 0.10 to 0.12 per cent Nb2O5 and from 0.015 to 0.026 tantalum (Assessment Report 11130).
