The Bardon group of claims is located on the north side of the Skeena River, 30 kilometres southwest of Hazelton.

The host rocks are metamorphosed Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group clastic sediments (meta-siltstones and meta-greywackes), intruded by medium grained grey granite probably related to the Eocene Babine Intrusions.

Two 1-metre wide quartz veins carrying pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite and galena are exposed in old trenches probably dating to the 1920s or 1930s. The veins strike 072 degrees and dip 60 degrees north.

Grab samples assayed up to 352.5 grams per tonne silver, 0.7 gram per tonne gold and 1.0 per cent or more lead, zinc, arsenic and antimony (Assessment Report 15260).
