The Eagle deposit is about 30 kilometres northwest of Victoria, on Old Wolfe Creek, west of the confluence with the Sooke River.

The host rocks are Jurassic to Cretaceous Leech River Complex slates and schists which strike nearly west and dip steeply northeast. The Leech River Complex is bounded by the Survey Mountain fault which follows Deception Gulch on the north and by the Leech River fault which follows Leech River and Old Wolf Creek. The Eagle, as well as three other talc showings lie on the Leech River fault and the Invereck property (092B 031) lies on the Survey Mountain fault.

Potassium-argon dates of 32 to 42 million years for the Leech River slates and schists marks the latest uplift of the group and hence the time of latest movement on the bounding faults. This would also suggest a lower boundary to the age of the talc (N.W.D. Massey, personal communication, 1987).

Near the workings, the slates are black, carbonaceous and severely crushed and folded. Talc occurs in three narrow, lens-shaped bodies paralleling the schistosity in the slates. A 2.1 metre thick body outcrops in the top bank and expands to 4.5 metres thickness 12 metres below. Fifteen metres stratigraphically below the first showing, a 3 to 3.6 metre talc lens is enclosed in talcose slates and black, soft, slaty argillite. A third 2.1 metre thick talc body is found exposed in the creek with another talc outcrop appearing on strike, 1.5 metres west. The lenses are homogeneous and mottled grey with faint black specks (magnetite?). The talc is light greenish grey, granular, very friable and crushes to an off-white powder.

A shaft was sunk 10.5 metres from the bank above, and a drift runs in 19.5 metres. A mill was built in 1921 about 22 metres above the workings and later moved about a kilometre away. In 1923, 250 tons of talc was mined and shipped to a plant in Sydney, British Columbia. Two small tunnels were driven into the west bank of Wolf Creek.

The crude ore is 50 per cent talc and 38 per cent dolomite and calcite. Chemical analyses of two samples of this ore were made by the Mines Branch of Energy Mines and Resources (CANMET Report #803), yielding the following percentages:

In 1978 and 1979, programs of trenching and nine diamond drill holes, totalling 278.9 metres, were completed on the area as the North, West, East and South claims. In 1985, the area was prospected as the Aura 1-2 claims. In 2001, the area was prospected for soapstone as the Wolf Creek 1 claim. This work identified a number of smaller talc occurrences intermittently exposed along Wolfe Creek.
