The Cable Creek showing is located along Cable Creek which empties northward into Bitter Creek, about 15 kilometres northeast of Stewart.
The Middle Jurassic Salmon River Formation (Hazelton Group) underlies the majority of the Cable Creek area. The Salmon River Formation is a thick sequence of complexly folded, colour banded tuffaceous siltstones, lithic wakes and argillite. Structural measurements indicate that the beds strike to the northwest and dip steeply to the northeast.
The main showing at Cable Creek is hosted by a quartz-sulphide vein/shear. The quartz vein/shear cuts through relatively unaltered argillites of the Salmon River Formation. The silicified zone is approximately 4 metres wide and has a strike length traceable for approximately 700 metres. Mineralization occurs in two styles. The first being massive and disseminated blebs of pyrrhotite-pyrite-arsenopyrite, with minor disseminated chalcopyrite. An unidentified grey metallic mineral (tetrahedrite?) also occurs. The second style of mineralization are thin (2 millimetre) stringers that cut the quartz/shear. A grab sample (2170) assayed 1.77 grams per tonne gold, 0.16 per cent copper and greater than 100 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 27681).
In 1996, KRL Resources Corp. completed a program of physical, geochemical, geological, and prospecting work in selected areas of the Bitter Creek, Old John and Barney claim groups of the Bear River property (formerly known as the MM property). A total of 81 rock samples were collected, geological investigations covered an area of about 900 square metres, prospecting was performed over an area of 260,000 metres and physical work consisted of 1100 metres of trail and helipad construction. In 2004, Lateegra Resources Corp. conducted geochemical and geological evaluations on the Cable Creek property and a total of 26 silt samples and 110 rock samples were collected.
