The Scout occurrence is located on a small knoll to the north of the Fraser River and south west of Mount Woodside.

The area is underlain by Lower and Middle Jurassic Harrison Lake Formation andesites, andesite porphyry, andesite breccia and basalt. Felsic volcanics and intrusions of Tertiary quartz diorite are also reported in this area.

Locally, weakly chloritized andesites host an iron- stained quartz vein with disseminated pyrite. In 2013, a sample (SP-3) assayed 22.5 grams per tonne silver, while another sample (RR1B) assayed 0.14 per cent copper (Assessment Report 34753).

In 2013, the area was prospected by A. Reimer as the Camp Scout claims. The former “Scout” adit was re-located at this time. The area has been previously explored in conjunction with the nearby Ascot (MINFILE 092HSW072) occurrence.
