The BRISTOL 11 occurrence is located on high ground west of Tommy Creek at an elevation of approximately 1800 metres, 4 kilometres south of Carpenter Lake. The showing is 19 kilometres east-northeast of Bralorne and 46 kilometres west-northwest of Lillooet, B.C.

The area is underlain by Mississippian to Jurassic Bridge River Group cherty sediments and basaltic greenstones that strike northeast, dip steeply northwest and are intruded by a stock of Cretaceous to Tertiary Bendor pluton granodiorite. Tertiary (?) porphyry dikes and a mafic dike also cut the metasediments. Locally, carbonatized and silicified shear zones in basaltic volcanic rocks and argillaceous sediments host quartz veining with pyrite, chalcopyrite and realgar mineralization. The structure is reported to strike approximately 220 degrees with a dip of 29 degrees north.

The area has been historically explored in conjunction with the Bristol (MINFILE 092JNE071) prospect and Silverside Extension occurrence (MINFILE 092JNE195).

In 1991, Westmin Resources Ltd.'s program of geological mapping and sampling resulted in a sample assaying1.69 grams per tonne gold over 8 metres, including rock chip samples yielding up to 3.65 grams per tonne gold and 0.296 per cent zinc over 1.0 metre. Another similarly mineralized steeply dipping shear zone hosted by basalt flows, tuffs and argillite is located approximately 250 metres to the west. Two rock chip samples (148062G and 148054G) assayed 0.42 and 1.33 grams per tonne gold, respectively (Assessment Report 22573). In 1992, Westmin Resources completed a program of geochemical sampling and geological mapping on the area as the Bristol 11 claim (Assessment Report 23625).

In 1995, a program of rock and soil sampling was completed on the area by Levon Resources Ltd. as part of the Silverside Extension claim. A rock sample (94SS R06) from the area assayed 0.824 per cent copper and 8.4 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 23625).

In 2021, Pan Pacific Resource Investments Inc. conducted programs of airborne LiDAR, magnetometer and radiometric surveys, and prospecting and rock sampling over the area encompassing the Bristol 11 showing (Assessment Report 40023). This included other mineral occurrence areas nearby; Bristol, Silverside, Silverside Extension and Benboe.
