The Rome & Valley occurrence is located on Rome Creek, a tributary of Perry Creek.

Regionally, the area is central to the Purcell Anticlinorium, a broad, generally north-plunging structure in southeastern British Columbia. that is cored by Middle Proterozoic Purcell Supergroup rocks and flanked by Late Proterozoic Windermere Group or Paleozoic sedimentary rock. The Purcell Supergroup comprises an early synrift succession, the Aldridge Formation, and an overlying, generally shallow water post-rift or rift fill sequence that includes the Creston and Kitchener Formations and younger Purcell rocks.

Locally, two or more large persistent quartz veins occur in fissures in a fault zone within argillaceous quartzites of the Helikian Creston Formation, Purcell Supergroup. These contain small amounts of pyrite and galena, and rare pyromorphite crystals (lead phosphate). A vein has been traced 470 metres and varies in width from 0.6 to 7.6 metres. It strikes 015 degrees and dips 35 to 50 degrees southeast.

Samples of mineralized vein material are reported to have assayed from 1.08 to 19.55 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 08122).

The main workings consists of 13 open-cuts of unknown age. In 1967, Fort Steele Mines completed a ground electromagnetic survey on the area as the Jac and Jill claims. In 1980, a soil sampling program was completed on the area as the Gar claims. During 2004 through 2009, Ruby Red Resources completed programs of geological mapping, geochemical sampling and ground electromagnetic surveys on the area as the Zeus claims, Purcell Block property.
