The War Eagle claim is located approximately 400 metres north of the Victoria claim and on the east side of Inspector Creek. A gossan zone developed along the northwestern margin on a carbonated body measures 9 by 15 metres on the surface and strikes 055 and dips 50 degrees northwest. Limestone occurs in the hangingwall and there is an intrusive dyke in the footwall. Within the gossan zone are pods of massive pyrrhotite, bornite, and chalcopyrite. Gangue minerals include dark green actinolite and/or pyroxene. Sulphide mineralization is visible in a small prospect pit dug into the side of the hill. A grab sample of massive pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite (+/- bornite) assayed 0.41 per cent copper.
