The Juan A claim is located on the south side of Spanish Lake, approximately 1.3 kilometres southeast of the Spanish Mountain (MINFILE 093A 043) occurrence.

The area is underlain by Upper Triassic metasedimentary rocks with some intercalated volcanics of the basal part of the Nicola Group. The metasedimentary rock consists of slaty to phyllitic, dark grey to black shale and siltstone, grey limestone and up the stratigraphy, some banded tuff, volcanic breccia and pillow lavas.

In 2007, Freeport conducted limited soil and stream sampling across the width of the property as a follow-up to the airborne geophysical survey by Skygold and Wildrose. Three trenches exposed pyritic argillite and greywacke with some quartz veining. Assays of samples returned up to 0.13 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 30709).
