The Tabor showing is located 1.6 kilometres east of Tabor Lake. Mineralization was first discovered on Corless Creek in the 1920s. Work at this time included a short adit on a pyrite-molybdenite occurrence and hand stripping on a pyrite-chalcopyrite showing. A tungsten-molybdenite showing was discovered in 1963. In 1963–1967, Canex, Amax and Noranda examined the property and conducted geochemical sampling surveys. In 1967, Union Carbide optioned the property, completing several trenches and three diamond-drill holes (240 metres).

The showing is underlain mainly by Lower Jurassic metasedimentary rocks consisting of argillite, greywacke and quartzite. These may be correlative with either the Nicola Group further to the south or with the lower part of the Hazelton Group to the west. Small granodioritic intrusions have been emplaced into these rocks. A number of approximately parallel quartz veins cut across the bedding of the flatly dipping rocks. The veins occur over an area of 460 metres in width and are up to 3.4 metres wide. The veins are mineralized with pyrite and chalcopyrite, minor gold and silver values are also reported.

In 2008, North Bluff Exploration Inc. prepared a photogrammetric study of its Tabor claims which covered the Tabor (093G 019) and the Burn (093G 024). Significant topographic lineaments were determined from this study.
