The Goldbar showing is located approximately 11 kilometres north-northeast of Stewart, on the west side of Bitter Creek about 700 metres south-southeast of the Bitter Creek bridge. The Goldbar NW (104A 156) showing occurs to the northwest and the historical Gold Bar No. 1 showings (104A 053) also occur in the area.

The area is underlain by the Tertiary(?) Bitter Creek quartz monzonite pluton, a satellite body of the Coast Plutonic Complex. The pluton intrudes Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation andesitic volcanics of the Hazelton Group (Bulletin 58; 63). The volcanics comprise crystal and lithic tuffs and cherty sediments that form large inclusions in the pluton (Assessment Report 20682). The volcanic and sedimentary rocks are intruded by augite diorite porphyry.

Several narrow (less than 10 centimetres wide) quartz veins contain variable amounts of pyrite, chalcopyrite, stibnite and molybdenite. One quartz vein, 30 centimetres wide, is well mineralized with stibnite, molybdenite and pyrite. A chip(?) sample collected in 1990 assayed 17.0 grams per tonne gold, 4.04 per cent bismuth, 21.7 grams per tonne silver and 0.16 per cent lead (Assessment Report 20682). A sampling program was conducted to follow this vein; the highest value was 1779.7 grams per tonne silver and 0.3428 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 21909). These reported assays are confusing as to which results belong with which sample/showing. Subsequent sampling (Assessment Report 21909) of this showing southeast, fails to duplicate the results reported in Assessment Report 20682, but the values are very similar to the results quoted for the Goldbar NW (104A 156) showing.

The history of the showing is unclear. The area was explored during 1910 and, again, in 1925 when the area to the west was covered by the Good Enough (including the Gold Bar claim) and America's (or Americus) Girl claim groups (104A 053). No further work was reported in the area until 1990 when Tenajon Resources Corp. carried out a limited rock, soil and silt sampling program on the Goldbar group owned by Javorsky. The showing was reported at that time. In 1994, a program of geochemical and geophysical surveying on the Empire group of claims for Prime Equities International was conducted. A total of 397 soil samples were collected and 3.5 kilometres of VLF-EM and 6.7 kilometres of magnetometer survey completed. In 1999, the Red 1-6 claims were staked by D.E. Molloy as part of a regional geochemical and geological evaluation and in 2000 an exploration program was carried out under the BC Prospectors Assistance Program. The exploration activities included compass and chain surveying of access roads, the installation of various flagged grid and control lines, and detailed and reconnaissance geological and geochemical surveys including the collection of 113 stream sediment, rock, soil and check samples.
