The Burn 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. Hornblende diorite has been intruded into the assemblage. Mineralization consists of veinlets of quartz, calcite, sericite, pyrrhotite, pyrite, scheelite, molybdenite and chalcopyrite in argillite and greywacke. Disseminated sulphide mineralization in association with red garnetiferous skarn also occurs in the area.

Scheelite was discovered during 1963 by C.F. O'Brien and his two partners, M. Warren and W. Cutt. The group staked the Burn Claims to cover this showing which was situated on a steep slope north of Corless Creek. In the same area, an adit, 70 feet in length was driven on some narrow high angle quartz veins apparently for gold. It is not known when this adit was driven but it was desribed as old in a 1967 report. A few major mining companies examined the property and in 1967 Union Carbide Exploration Ltd. carried out an exploration program including geological mapping and diamond drilling. Three holes were drilled for a total of 800 feet but the company allowed the property to lapse.

Over the years the property owners have drilled short holes in various locations and have bulldozed five trenches. Although mineralization was encountered no samples appear to have been analysed.

In 1978, Mattagami Lake Mines Ltd. carried out geochemical, geophysical and geological surveys. Results were encouraging enough to follow up with percussion drilling and additional geochemical surveys in 1980. The author of the reports describing the programs concluded that although molybdenite and scheelite were observed no grades of economic potential were encountered.

In 1990, P.G. Paulson, acquired the Steven Claim by staking and drilled four diamond drill holes on the property in the area of the Burn showing. Two holes were drilled on the north side of Skaret Creek to test for the source of placer gold and two holes were drilled north of the main forestry road. All of the holes intersect crosscutting quartz, calcite and quartz- calcite veinlets, veins and stockwork zones. Several narrow faults with gouge, broken to brecciated wall rock, and minor graphite were also intersected in the drill holes. Several of these zones were sampled, only those samples mentioned above , contained anomalous metal concentrations.

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 lineaments were determined from this study.
