The Tuscarora occurrence is located on the eastern side of a ridge separating Gun Lake and Carpenter Lake, approximately 1.5 kilometres northwest of the community of Gold Bridge.

The area is underlain mainly by volcanics and sediments of the Mississippian to Jurassic Bridge River Complex (Group). Undivided sedimentary rocks of the Jurassic to Cretaceous Cayoosh assemblage are exposed to the south and west, while serpentinite ultramafic rocks of the Permian Bralorne-East Liza Complex are exposed to the east.

Locally, former adits and trenches expose a 1.5 to 2.0 metre wide shear zone hosted by argillites and cherty quartzites, lying in contact with a hornblende diorite. The shear strikes 300 to 320 degrees and dips 70 degrees northeast to vertical. The zone hosts 1 to 5 centimetre wide quartz-carbonate veinlets and disseminated pyrite with minor galena.

The area was first prospected in the early 1930’s and by 1936 a number of trenches and two adits, an 80-metre upper adit and a 100-metre lower adit, had been completed by Tuscarora Gold Mines. In 1987, Panarim Resources completed a program of soil sampling, geological mapping and ground geophysical surveys on the area as the Guns Gold claim. In 1992, the area was prospected as the Will 1 claim. In 2012, Wild West Gold completed a minor program of soil, silt and rock sampling on the area.
