The BEAVER SHEAR occurrence is located on a forestry road, approximately 160 metres west of Beaver Valley Road and 1.7 kilometres north-northwest of Finger Lake, 7.8 kilometres northwest of the community of Horsefly.

The area is underlain by basalts and volcaniclastics of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group. The Beaver Shear along with the Gravel Creek (Minfile 093A 291) 4.5 kilometres south, bracket a zone of mafic Triassic volcanics that contain abundant high-grade float and drill intersected copper mineralization from previous work.

The Beaver Shear showing was discovered by Rimfire property tenure holders Herb Wahl and Jack Brown-John during excavator test-pitting operations in 2017. The showing is within a zone of west-northwest shearing in the Bird Drop volcanic unit. Grab samples from the roadside copper discovery returned values of 0.164 per cent and 0.33 per cent over an area of 1.5 by 1.5 metres (Assessment Report 36822). Nearby, in Pit RP-13, an angular mineralized boulder from a drift layer 2 metres below surface returned 0.472 per cent copper. Further test pitting and SGH (spaciotemporal geochemical hydrocarbon) soil sampling was done in the Beaver Shear area in 2018, indicating anomalous copper in the soils.

In 2023 and 2025, Eagle Plains Resources ran programs of till sampling over their Woodjam property, including the Beaver Shear showing.
