The Fur occurrence is located in the eastern head waters of Viera Creek at approximately 1485 metres in elevation.

The area is underlain by argillite, slate, quartzite and chert with andesite and basalt; all are phyllitic and highly altered. These rocks are part of the Mississippian to Jurassic Bridge River Complex (Group). The sedimentary rocks are cut by granodiorite of the Eocene Mission Ridge pluton and Tertiary porphyritic dacite.

Locally, a rhyolite intrusion hosts pyrite and arsenopyrite mineralization as streaks along flow laminations.

In 1984, sampling assayed up to 2400 parts per billion with anomalous arsenic and antimony (sample 47851) from a narrow shear zone (Nelson, J. (1985-01-10): B.C. Gold Reconnaissance 1985 - Lillooet Project - Final Report). In 1986, sampling of an 8 centimetre wide quartz-arsenopyrite veinlet assayed 6300 parts per billion gold and 11.2 parts per million silver (47952; Assessment Report 15397).
