The Granite occurrence is located at 1204 metres elevation 6.5 kilometres east of McKinney Creek and south of Baldy Mountain. The Cariboo-Amelia occurrence (082ESW020) is located 4.5 kilometres to the northeast and Bridesville, British Columbia is located 8 kilometres to the south-southeast.

Work was reported on the Banner and Granite claims as early as 1899. At this time they were owned and operated by Camp McKinney Mines. A substantial amount of work was reported and a 5-stamp mill was reported to have run for some time with very satisfactory results. No records could be found, however, concerning the length of time, the amount of ore that was processed, or the recovered grades. It is thought that most of the mill ore was supplied from the Banner claim. Recent work on the Granite and Banner claims has been conducted in 1981 by the Rock Creek Joint Venture Syndicate, 1985 by A. Dupras, 1986 by Gold Hill Syndicate and in 1987 under option to Wapiti Exploration Inc. During 2008 through 2012, Grizzly Discoveries Inc. completed programs of geochemical (rock, stream sediment and soil) sampling, geological mapping and airborne and ground geophysical surveys on the Dayton-Sidley area of the Greenwood Property.

Lithologies underlying the Granite occurrence consists of biotite granodiorite of the Middle Jurassic Nelson intrusions. The dominant fractures strike 032 degrees. For a more detailed description of the surrounding geology refer to the Cariboo-Amelia occurrence.

On the Granite claim, it is reported that a quartz vein carried chalcopyrite, galena, pyrite and minor sphalerite. The vein is 140 centimetres wide and strikes 290 to 330 degrees in the main shaft. The vein has been traced 41 metres north to a second shallower shaft in granodiorite hostrock. In 1985, a sample was taken from 4.6 metres deep in the main shaft. This sample (582060) yielded 8.2 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 14609).

On the Banner claim, another quartz vein is hosted in granodiorite. Three samples were taken by the Rock Creek Joint Venture Syndicate in 1981. The best sample, a 60-centimetre chip across the vein, yielded 0.24 gram per tonne gold and 2.81 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 12389).
