The Grizzly North occurrence is located approximately 500 metres north of a small pond in the north western head waters of Grizzly Creek and at an elevation of approximately 1670 metres.
The area is underlain by the Jurassic-Cretaceous Coast Plutonic Complex, which comprises granodiorite, granitoid gneiss, amphibolite and schist. The metamorphic rocks generally occur as small fault-bound pendants. Feldspar porphyry dikes are locally abundant.
Locally, stock work quartz veins with molybdenite are hosted by a granodioritic porphyry dike and gossanous metasedimentary rocks.
In 2010, a rock sample (JT03) assayed 0.24 per cent molybdenum and 0.145 per cent rhenium (Assessment Report 32099).
The Apple occurrences were discovered as a follow up exploration program to the 1988 regional geochemical stream sediment sampling program in the Bute Inlet area. The Apple claims were subsequently staked by Placer Dome Inc. in 1989 and explored from 1989 to 1991. Exploration programs consisted of rock and soil sampling, prospecting and geological mapping. In 1997, Tiberon Mineral Ltd. prospected the Grizzly property as the Shannon claims. During 2010 through 2012, St. Elias Mines completed programs of rock, silt and soil sampling and 19 line-kilometres of combined ground electromagnetic and magnetic surveys.
