The Golden Bee 2 showing is located 30 kilometres west of Atlin, just south of Bee Lake. Several other showings occur on the Golden Bee property (104M 077-80).

The claims were staked by Golden Bee Minerals in 1989 to cover the stibnite vein discovered by Lawrence Maki. Golden Bee Minerals conducted a program of sampling, mapping, prospecting and geochemical surveys in 1989 and 1990.

The area, bounded by faults, is underlain by sediments of the Lower Jurassic Laberge Group. These comprise greywacke, argillite, shale and conglomerate intruded by granite near Bee Peak. The Llewellyn fault is 2 kilometres to the west and separates these rocks from the Coast Plutonic Complex. To the east, the Nahlin fault separates the rocks from the Cache Creek Group. The area of the showing contains splays from these major faults. The bedding generally trends north to northwest.

Large scale, bright orange-brown hornfels-pyrrhotite oxidation and alteration occurs at the south end of the property. Mineralization occurs in quartz flooded and sheared feldspathic greywacke, siltstones, argillite, breccia and stockwork near a feldspar porphyry dike. Mineralization consists of minor pyrite and cinnabar and is associated with shears.

The stibnite vein/zone assayed up to 8 per cent antimony, 0.478 gram per tonne gold and 13.5 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 21011). Samples from other shear zones in the area also assayed high in antimony.
