The Bob 21 (Zone F) occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 610 metres on a west-facing slope, east of Steele Creek and approximately 1.8 kilometres north of White Fang Lake.

The area is underlain by thin layers or lens of limestone within a sequence of pillow lavas, basalt, breccia and minor tuff of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group). Hornblende-quartz-diorite of the Late Jurassic Nimpkish batholith lies about 2.0 kilometres to the west. The Nimpkish batholith is part of the Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite.

Locally, massive magnetite, pyrite and chalcopyrite occur in garnet-epidote-calcite skarn at the contact between limestone and massive basalt over a distance of 60 metres. The zone trends 120 degrees and dips 30 degrees to the southwest. The mineralization has a maximum width of 1 metre.

In 1994, chip samples yielded up to 5.1 per cent copper and 1.67 grams per tonne gold over 1.0 metre width (Assessment Report 23551).
