The Linda showing is likely contained within a Middle to Upper Jurassic sedimentary package of the Hazelton Group. Middle to Upper Jurassic calc-alkaline rocks of the Mount Dillworth and volcaniclastic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Betty Creek formations, Hazelton Group occur to the immediate west.

Linda claim sample GWR-59, from a rusty-weathered "sedex slate" with 3 per cent pyrite, graded 0.045 gram per tonne gold, 6 grams per tonne silver, 1 per cent lead, 1 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 21306). The lead and zinc samples were both 10,000 ppm and likely indicate the upper limit of the analysis technique.

Work History.

In 1988, work by Wydmar Development Corporation on the Tippy Lake Property consisted of stream sediment sampling, rock geochemical sampling and prospecting. During the program 344 silt sediment samples and 82 rock geochemcal samples were collected. Only the Linda and Rea claims were, in part, south of Tippy Lake, the other 11 Tippy Lake Property claims were situated to the north. See Tippy Lake (104B 382) for related information.

In January 1990, a 37.6 line kilometer airborne reconnaissance magnetic and VLF-EM survey was conducted over the Stella, Rae, and Linda claims on behalf of Teuton Resources Corp. The VLF-EM response shows a number of nearly north-south, approximately-parallel conductors that intersect airphoto drainages and lineations at oblique angles (with the exception of conductor S4). There is marked region of elevated magntic susceptability which corresponds to an area within previously mapped Betty Creek Formation.

In 1991 Teuton Resources collected a total of 43 rock samples were collected on the Linda, Rae and Stella claims. Three of 43 rocks samples yielded anomalous values. According to Teuton, all 3 samples were taken from the pyritic rich "sedex unit" exposures on the south side of Tippy Lake.

In 2006 and 2007, Hathor Exploration Ltd. completed a 7228.7 line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey on the area as the Knip claims of the Iskut project. In 2008, Max Minerals Ltd. examined the property.

Prior to 2014, Pretium Resources put together a very large block of contiguous claims called the Bowser Property, stretching from Brucejack Lake to Bowser Lake and farther to the southwest.

In 2014, on behalf of Pretium Exploration on their Bowser property, an 1,885 line-kilometer magnetic and radiometric survey was flown at 400 meter line spacing. Due to inclement weather, only 350 line kilometers of 1TEM Time Domain Electromagnetics (TDEM) were flown (Assessment Report 36790).

In 2015, Pretium Exploration expanded the magnetometer and radiometric survey area to the east and south, as well as infilling specific block areas to 200 meter line spacing. A total of 1,139 kilometres of magnetics and radiometrics were completed. In 2015, the proposed 2014 1TEM survey blocks were also completed, and the 1TEM survey grid was extended to match the area covered by the 2015 magnetometer and radiometric grids, totaling 3,402 1TEM line kilometers flown that year. Follow-up work was to focus on areas where the resistivity and conductivity indicate alteration, and the conductive anomalies might indicate a massive sulphide bodies.

In 2016, Pretium Exploration initiated a 4 kilometre Magnetotelluric (MT) line starting in the Canoe Glacier valley, crossing over the toe of the Knipple Glacier and continuing on to Scott Creek. A Direct Current Induced Polarization (DCIP) was also completed, focusing on the Salmon River Quock Member sediments and the underlying volcanics at the Kirkham, Pipe Dream, Knipple Lake, and Cone zones. Ten DCIP lines, covering 23.5 kilometres with 19 MT sites, as well as 26 MT stations covering the Bowser Valley were completed. In order to expand the structural and lithological interpretation at KL Gossan and KL East Zones, where outcrop exposure was minimal, 24 more MT sites were surveyed. The results of this 2016 work included the identification of 55 zones of interest related to resolved anomalies over Cone Zone (5), Kirkham (18), Pipe Dream (21), regional MT Transect line (5) and Bowser infill MT area (6) (see Assessment Report 36790 forfurther information).

In 2016, Precision GeoSurveys Inc, on behalf of Pretium Exploration, completed a 1,400 line kilometer airborne magnetic and radiometric survey on the Bowser Property. The survey covered the southern end of the Bowser Property, as an irregular 24.7 by 23 kilometre block, with 200 meter line-spacing, flown north-south, and 2 kilometre tie lines. The purpose of the survey was to complete the magnetometer and radiometrics coverage over the entire Bowser Property claim area, as the northern extents of the property had previously been flown in 2014 and 2015. See Assessment Report 36793, Appendix III for Precision's,"Airborne Geophysical Survey Report", including 2014-2016 magnetic and radiometric maps.

In 2017, Pretium Exploration conducted grass roots prospecting, sampling and mapping on their Bowser property, mostly southwest and south of Bowser Lake. They collected 2901 rock and 429 silt samples (Assessment Reports 37435, 37443).

By 2019, the Tippy Lake area was held Pretium Resources.
