The Falls 1-2 claims are located on the northern slopes of an unnamed creek flowing westerly into Boundary Creek, approximately 600 metres northeast of the past producing Ruby Mine (MINFILE 082ESE044).

The area is underlain by Triassic Brooklyn limestone and sharpstone conglomerate intruded by Eocene microdiorite dikes. The mineralization is pyrite and chalcopyrite occurring as fracture fillings in northeast- dipping argillite beds and skarn development associated with interbedded Brooklyn limestone.

Between 1991 and 1992, reconnaissance prospecting and rock sampling were completed on the Falls 1-2 claims. A grab sample of limestone containing 15 to 20 per cent sulphides, primarily malachite and chalcopyrite, returned 14.4 per cent copper (Assessment Report 22953).
