The New York and Cariboo occurrence is located at the head of an east flowing tributary of Schulz Creek, and on the north side of bluff, south of a pair of lakes. Massive arsenopyrite is exposed in a trench along a contact between hangingwall argillite and footwall marble of Devonian to Upper Triassic age. A sample from the trench assayed 4.1 grams per tonne silver and 0.15 per cent copper. A 20 metre by 2.5 metre lens of mainly massive pyrite and pyrrhotite, with bleached margins, assayed 0.40 per cent zinc (Open File 1993-13).
