The Anthony showing is lcoated 3 kilometres west of Tatlayoko Lake, from a point 14 kilometres south to the lakes southern tip.

The Anthony occurrence is located in a strongly faulted region underlain by Middle Triassic coarse clastic sedimentary rocks of the Hurley Formation (Cadwallader Group) occurring between the Tchaikazan fault and a probable splay fault to the northeast, the Niut fault. The Hurley sedimentary rocks are overthrust on the east by a panel of Middle to Upper Triassic basaltic rock of the Cadwallader Group and to the south the Hurley rocks are in unfaulted contact with the same Middle to Upper Triassic basalts. The Anthony showing occurs in Cadwallader basalts/andesite rocks south of the Hurely Formation. Rocks in the package include: massive and pillowed basalt; local basalt breccia, conglomerate, andesite, felsic tuff, chert, sandstone and shale.

In 1994, a BC Geological Survey mapping crew found, sampled and documented the Anthony showing for MINFILE. They described a showing consisting of malachite, chalcopyrite and minor sulphides occurring sporadically in hydrothermal quartz veins within silica flooded andesite. A sample (PSC-35-5) of quartz-epidote altered andesite graded 0.53 per cent copper and 0.0345 per cent zinc (Open File 1995-7).

In 2006, ATAC Resources Ltd. collected rock samples near the Anthony showing (092N 064) where three samples of felsic dike material produced strongly elevated copper (0.154 to 0.636 per cent) and silver (43.8 to 54.7 grams per tonne) with 23 to 112 parts per billion gold. Three other samples from this area were quartz-veined felsic volcanics. The best assay from these samples was 1.34 per cent copper with 7 parts per billion gold and 2.6 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 29245).

In early 2011, Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario conducted helicopter-borne magnetic and Z Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) geophysical surveys over the Buzz property of behalf of Strategic Metals (Assessment Report 32233). A total of 772-line kilometres of EM and magnetic data were recorded. In spring of that year, the data from those surveys were evaluated by Condor Consulting (as follows in 2012). In 2012, Strategic Metals compiled data from Condor Consulting’s geophysical interpretation together with previously obtained geochemical and geological data collected by other operators (Assessment Report 33014). MINFILE occurrences within the area of the geophysical survey include: Nuit Mountain (092N 020), Rusty (092N 044), Anthony (092N 064), Clipboard (092N 065), Fly (092N 044), Fly Creek (092N 074) and Harvey Gold (092N 073).

In 2015, Strategic Metals Ltd collected a total of 28 rock samples on the Buzz property from the Fly, Downs and Niut Mountain showings (Assessment Report 35815). The other showings were not visited in 2015.

In 2021, Goldplay Mining Inc. conducted prospecting and geochemical sampling on the Goldstorm South project.

Refer to Fly (092N 056) for further geological and work history details of the Buzz property parts of which were previously held as the Fly and Harvey property.
