The Ore Hill No. 6 showing is located about 11 kilometres north-northeast of Stewart, just east of the Stewart highway (37A) and approximately 4.2 kilometres east of the confluence of Bitter Creek with the Bear River. The showing is in the southeastern part of the Ore Hill No. 6 claim (Lot 4821).

The area is underlain by the Tertiary(?) Bitter Creek pluton, a satellite intrusion of the Coastal Plutonic Complex (Bulletin 58; 63). The immediate hostrocks to the mineralization comprise 'quartz porphyry', a greyish pink phase of the pluton (Assessment Report 13352).

A narrow 5 to 12 centimetre wide quartz vein follows a fault zone that lies along the south wall of an east-northeast trending, narrow diabase dike. The vein can be traced for about 10 metres. It contains pyrite, chalcopyrite and minor sphalerite. A channel sample collected in 1984 assayed 11.4 grams per tonne gold and 165.2 grams per tonne silver across 12 centimetres (Assessment Report 13352).

The showing may have been known in the 1920s when the Ore Hill claim group was explored by the Ore Mountain Mining Company Limited. In 1984, the property was owned by Grey Silver Mines Ltd. That year Maralgo Mines Limited optioned the property and flew an airborne VLF-EM and magnetometer survey over the area and conducted geological mapping, prospecting and sampling on the Ore Hill claims. The showing was reported at that time. In 1989, Grey Silver Mines performed geological mapping, sampling and soil surveys in the general area; no work was reported on the showing. The following year Varitech Resources Ltd. conducted a program of geological mapping, prospecting, sampling and soil, VLF-EM and magnetometer surveys in the area. During 2005 through 2010, Auramex completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical sampling and airborne geophysical surveys on the area as the Bear River-Surprise Creek property.
