The Galleon claims are located south of the confluence of Fontaine and Font creeks in the Little Swift River area, about 53 kilometres east of Quesnel. Access to the property is provided by the Swift River Forestry Road that joins Highway 26 thirty-five kilometres east of Quesnel. Twenty-five kilometres south of Highway 26, between Fontaine Creek and Little Swift River, an unimproved logging road, designated 13K, passes easterly toward Milk Ranch Pass. That road and a north branch from it are followed for 6 kilometres to elevation 1340 metres where a crude tractor road unsuitable for road vehicles continues 1.5 kilometres to the initial post of Galleon 2 and 3 claims.

The Galleon showing is located within the Barkerville Terrane, a few kilometres east of the Eureka Thrust which marks the contact with the Quesnel Terrane. Rocks of the region have been mapped as undifferentiated Upper Proterozoic-Paleozoic Snowshoe Group.

The showing is underlain by arkosic phyllite, quartzite and schist which are cut by quartz veins containing pyrite, chalcopyrite and galena. A grab sample returned assays of 11.4 per cent lead, 242.7 grams per tonne silver and 0.96 gram per tonne gold(Assessment Report 13444).

In 1984, a limited program of rock chip and soil geochemical sampling was completed on behalf of a private company, Elder Resources Ltd.
