Limestone outcrops 8.5 kilometres southwest of Topley Landing. The deposit is hosted by Lower Jurassic Telkwa Formation volcanic rocks. Five grab samples of limestone from the deposit averaged 77.87 per cent CaCO3, 0.74 per cent MgCO3, 0.244 per cent iron and 16.72 per cent insolubles (Industrial Mineral File - Equity Silver Mines Ltd., 1989).

The property was sampled in 1988 by Equity Silver Mines Ltd. during a search for limestone for acid neutralization in their nearby mine.

In 2012, an aeromagnetic program was conducted over the Flute and Lannac properties by Riverside Resources (BC) Inc. The total covered area was 813 square kilometres and the total survey line coverage was 4,444 line kilometres (Assessment Report 33032, 33707F). The Chris occurrence was covered by this survey.

Refer also to Lennac property occurrences Thezar 81 (East) (093L 191), Thezar 75 (West) Suratt (Southeast) (093L 338), Jacob (093L 243). Refer also to Tachi (093L 144) for related details.
