The Strawberry claim is underlain primarily by sharpstone conglomerate interbedded with greenstone of the Devonian to Permian Knob Hill Group. Intruding this package are rocks of both the Nelson (Cretaceous) and Coryell (Eocene) plutonic suites.

Two shafts on the Strawberry Crown Grant explore calcsilicate skarn with a mineral assemblage including garnet, actinolite, epidote, diopside, pyrrhotite, pyrite, magnetite, and chalcopyrite. These zones occur within the metavolcanic/sedimentary country rock assemblage. Diorite outcrops within 10 metes of the southern shaft; porphyritic latite outcrops within 20 m of the northern shaft. The highest gold value obtained is 8.22 grams per tonne gold with 0.9 per cent copper (Assessment Report 22516). This was obtained from a sample of massive pyrrhotite collected from the southern shaft dump on the claim.

Quebec and Boundary Gold Mining Co., owned the Strawberry in 1899. A 15 metre deep shaft was reported at the time. In 1900, 60 metres of sinking and drifting were reported and the claim was Crown-granted to A.B. Clabon. In 1901, it was reported that the Strawberry had shipped ore but in what year was not clearly indicated. A program consisting of reconnaissance geologic mapping and rock sampling (22) was conducted between June 1991 and June 1992 on the Rim 1-18, Straw, Strawberry (L.1765) by Orvana Mineral Corp. Rock samples were collected from most of the known workings and from a few outcrops.
