The North Champion (Upper Road) occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1400 metres and approximately 1.9 kilometres east of the junction of Champion Creek and the Tulameen River.
The area is underlain by ultramafic rocks of the Early Jurassic Tulameen Ultramafic Complex and metamorphic rocks of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group.
Locally, ultramafic rocks, primarily hornblende pyroxenite, host variable amounts of disseminated to massive pyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, magnetite and malachite. Quartz veins in the area contain pyrite and minor chalcopyrite.
In 2016, Rain City Resources Ltd. completed a program of prospecting and rock sampling on then area as the Northern Champion property. Two rock samples (0451 and 0452) of mineralized quartz vein material yielded values of up to 0.841 gram per tonne gold, 0.546 gram per tonne platinum, 1.370 gram per tonne palladium, greater than 100 grams per tonne silver and 0.949 per cent copper, while 19 samples of sulphide bearing ultramafic rocks yielded from 0.103 to 0.660 per cent copper with elevated platinum and palladium values of up to 0.287 and 0.474 gram per tonne, respectively (MacIntyre, D.
