The Glacier occurrence is located on a steep ridge west of the Apple River, at an elevation of approximately 1740 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.

At the Glacier zone, porphyry-style mineralization occurs in and adjacent to quartz veins. Pyrite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite occur in narrow veins composed of white, vuggy quartz that characteristically contain coarse blebs of pyrite with lesser chalcopyrite. Minor, fine-grained molybdenite is present along the margins of veins. Narrow envelopes of sericite and clay alteration locally surround the veins. Fine- grained disseminated pyrite is present locally in the altered wallrock adjacent to the veins. The veins trend north- north east and east-southeast, and generally have steep to moderate dips.

In 1990, grab rock samples from the Glacier zone yielded up to 3.65 grams per tonne gold, 0.11 per cent copper and 0.26 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 21774).

In 2012, two grab samples (KI1236 and KI1238) assayed 0.054 and 0.063 per cent molybdenum and 0.114 and 0.003 per cent copper with 0.050 and 0.037 per cent rhenium, respectively (Assessment Report 33486).

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.
