The FUR occurrence is located in the eastern headwaters of Viera Creek at approximately 1485 metres in elevation. The showing is approximately 2 kilometres to the north of Carpenter Lake, 40 kilometres east of Gold Bridge, B.C.

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. Locally, a Tertiary rhyolite intrusion hosts pyrite and arsenopyrite mineralization as streaks along flow laminations. Petrochemical sampling in 2022 confirmed the host rock as rhyolite.

Several trenches and short adits were established int the vicinity of the Fur showing in the early 1900s, around the same time that work was being done on the Broken Hill prospect on Sebring Creek, 2.6 kilometres to the northwest.

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).
