The Ram occurrence lies 9.5 kilometres south of Eddontenajon Lake and 13 kilometres south-southwest of the Red Chris copper-gold porphyry deposit (104H 005), about 21 kilometres south of the village of Iskut.

The area is underlain by felsic volcanics and volcaniclastic rocks of the Lower-Middle Jurassic Hazelton Group. A broad region of orange staining (gossan?) developed predominantly in felsic rocks hosts minor pyrite and a few flakes of molybdenite.

In 1974, Ecstall Mining Limited carried out mapping, and silt and soil sampling on the Ram property. In 1975, Texasgulf Canada Ltd. continued exploration with additional mapping and soil sampling.

In October 1997, the Gin claims were staked to cover an area of arsenic and mercury anomalous stream sediment samples collected during 1997 by Homestake Canada Inc. personnel. In 1998, a grid was established on the property and an exploration program including geological mapping and geochemical soil and stream sediment sampling was completed. The property was mapped at 1:10,000 scale with grid lines for control and soil samples were collected at 50-metre intervals along 200 metre spaced lines. A total of 213 rock, 892 soil, and 26 silt samples were collected. The Gin claims cover the original Ram showing.

Bolero Resources Corp. acquired the claims comprising the Red Chris South property in 2009 and 2010. The Red Chris South property claims cover the original Ram showing. In 2010, Bolero carried out exploration on the property consisting of the establishment of approximately 90 kilometres of measured and picketed grid lines, and collection of 560 mobile metal ion (MMI) soil samples.
