The Wolf 17 showing, and several conformable lead-zinc occurrences nearby to the east, some with associated barite, are within a succession of mainly dark grey slates, limestones and quartzites assigned to the Hardscrabble Mountain and Permian Bralco successions of the Upper Proterozoic-Paleozoic Snowshoe Group. These lead-zinc-barite occurrences may be sedimentary exhalite deposits (Fieldwork 1997).

Diamond-drill hole W-95-01 was drilled on the Wolf 17 mineral claim located about 630 metres west of the confluence of Cunningham and Trehouse creeks. At 112 metres downhole depth, a 1 metre interval was logged as 20 per cent combined semi-massive galena and sphalerite hosted in silicified, sericitic dolomite and limestone of the Snowshoe Group (assumed to be Permian Bralco succession).

In 1995, Gold City Mining Corporation conducted a 574 metre (5 holes) diamond drill program on the Pans Property. Four holes were on Mount Proserpine, and the fifth hole (W-95-01) tested a gold-in-soils anomaly identified by Riocanex Ltd. in 1976, west of the confluence of Cunningham Creek and Trehouse Creek.

During 2000 through 2008, Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical (rock, soil, moss and stream sediment) sampling, ground magnetic and self potential surveys, trenching and 60 diamond drill holes, totalling 28,710.0 metres on the area as the Golden Cariboo property. A complete summary of exploration programs can be found at the Cariboo Hudson (MINFILE 093A 091) occurrence.
