The country rocks are chloritic schist, quartzites, limestones and paragneisses of the Cambrian to Devonian Index Formation (Lardeau Group). The ore occurs in quartz veins and as replacement bodies adjacent to the veins. The veins have a general east-west strike and vary in width from 2 to 45 centimeres. The Nameless Fraction has two veins situated about 14 metres apart. The best showing of ore is an oreshoot 60 metres long and averaging 45 centimetres.
From 1950 to 1953, a total of 2792 tonnes of ore was mined from the Nameless deposit. From this 154,954 grams of silver, 165,014 kilograms of lead and 107,408 kilograms of zinc were recoverd.
The claims are located on a bluff at the lake shore about 0.4 kilometre north of the mouth of Woodbury Creek. The August Fraction, Zoa, Lulu, Dixie Frac Fraction, Vigilant, Budweiser and Superior are all relocations of cancelled Crown grants bearing the same names. These claims were originally staked by the King Solomon Mining Co. in the early 1900s but very little work was done on them at that time.
Dr. Besecker obtained the Zoa, Lulu, Dixie Frac., Vigilant, Diamond Jubilee, Duplex No. 2, August Frac. and Nameless Frac. claims in 1949. These came to be known as the Woodbury Group. Privateer Mines Ltd. held an option on this group of claims for a year. During the following years the August Frac. was worked by Dr. Besecker while the Nameless Frac. was under lease to C.A. McLeish and V. McCulloch of Kaslo. Dr. Besecker drove a 61 metre tunnel on a fissure vein, known as the "A" vein, which is about 114 metres south of the "B" and "C" veins of the Nameless Fraction.
On the Nameless Fraction claim two adits were collared above the high water mark. The adit on "B" vein was extended for 8709 metres. Near the end of the drift a raise was put up about 15 metres in low grade replacement ore. Ore was removed from the floor of the tunnel by means of an incline that starts just inside the portal and extends for 36 metres at an angle of about 25 degrees. The adit on "C" vein was extended until it joined the adit on "B" vein at about 30 metres from both portals. This property was abandoned early in 1953 after taking some ore from a sublevel at the bottom of the incline. The lower workings are now flooded.
