The Bev claims are located 5.5 kilometres southeast of Greenwood, between 1300 and 1500 metres elevation, near the crest of the ridge, 2 kilometres west of the summit of Mount Attwood. Access to the property may be gained by travelling 19 kilometres from Greenwood, via the Lind Creek road or 13 kilometres via the McCarren Creek road.

The Sunnyside (Lot 2879) was Crown granted to M. McBean in 1903. In 1923, D. Spooner prospected the claim; a sample assayed 1.42 per cent copper, 106 grams per tonne silver and 1.4 grams per tonne gold (Annual Report 1923, page 182). In 1976, Silver Falls Resources Ltd. acquired the property together with the Fanny Joe (082ESE0159) and Sunnyside claims.

The main zone of mineralization consists of skarn mineralization associated with Permian Attwood Group limestone near the contact with a small granodiorite intrusion on the Sunnyside claim. A second zone nearby in same limestone unit contains galena, sphalerite, magnetite and chalcopyrite associated with quartz veins. A third zone, on the Bev 2 claim, about 1 kilometre southwest of the Sunnyside claim, consists of a 1.2 metre-wide shear structure containing pyrite and minor amounts of chalcopyrite and sphalerite in silicified metasedimentary rocks of the Upper Paleozoic Knob Hill Group.

During 2008 through 2012, Grizzly Discoveries Inc. completed programs of soil, stream sediment and rock sampling, geological mapping and ground geophysical surveys on the area as the Overlander area of the Greenwood property.
