The Windy Ridge occurrence is located on the northwest facing slope of Ochre Mountain, near its west- southwest running ridge, at an elevation of approximately 2370 metres.

Locally, sericitic quartz stock works and veins host fine-grained molybdenite and pyrite mineralization.

In 1966, diamond drillhole SM66-6 yielded intersections of up to 0.10 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 709).

In 2011, two grab samples assayed 0.170 and 0.240 per cent molybdenum, respectively (Assessment Report 33341).

From 1965 to 1966, Southwest Potash Corp. optioned the property and staked additional ground, following which they completed a program of surveying, geological mapping, reconnaissance geochemistry and diamond drilling.

In 2007 and 2008, Paget Minerals conducted small exploration programs to confirm past accounts of mineralization on the Salal property. Work included mapping and rock sampling in the Mud Lake and Logan Ridge area in the northern section of the property.

In early 2010, Miocene Metals Ltd. conducted airborne geophysical surveys over the Salal property. In late 2010 and throughout 2012, Miocene Metals Ltd. completed a program of sampling, prospecting, mapping and four diamond drill holes on the Salal property.

For regional geology and a complete property history, see Salal Creek (MINFILE 092JW 005).
