The Ridge occurrence is located at the east end of an east-west–trending ridge, north of Richards Creek.

Regionally, the area is underlain by three thrust panels. The lowest and most easterly panel of Middle Devonian Dunedin Formation limestone and Devonian to Carboniferous Besa River Formation shale is overthrust by Lower to Middle Stone Formation dolomite and Dunedin Formation limestone. This panel, in turn, is overthrust by Cambrian to Ordovician Kechika Group, Ordovician Skoki Formation and Silurian Nonda Formation strata.

Mineralization, consisting of disseminated galena and minor hemimorphite, is hosted in brecciated dolomite in the Stone Formation thrust panel near the stratigraphic contact with the overlying Dunedin Formation.

Work History

In 1972 and 1973, Cominco Ltd. completed programs of geological mapping, geochemical sampling and at least 16 diamond drill holes, totalling 952.2 metres, on the area as the Ric claims. No assays were reported. In 2008, Douglas Herriott prospected and sampled the area as the Red Cat property. No assays were reported.
