The Option claim group originally consisted of 25 claims located east of Kitchener just north of the highway to Cranbrook, on Hazel Creek. Pits expose four separate veins; on the north end of the claims there are two quartz veins, 1.2 to 2 metres wide, striking 330 degrees and dipping steeply to the northeast. These veins appear to be parallel. On the south end of the claims there are two shear zones, 1.2 to 2.2 metres wide, striking 350 degrees and dipping steeply to the east. The veins contain copper (assumed to be as chalcopyrite), gold (probably native) and tungsten (as scheelite). The country rock consists of granodiorite, quartzite (quartz and quartzofeldspathic wacke) and argillite belonging to the Aldridge Formation of the Middle Proterozoic Purcell Supergroup; it is not certain to what group the "granodiorite" belongs, but later reports describe diorite sills, likely of the Moyie intrusions of the Purcell Supergroup.
The same area was later staked as the Sky property (Assessment Reports 16501, 18153, 23093). Assessment Report 16501 states that sampling in the mid-1960s showed "fair to good values for tungsten along with lower values for gold, silver, copper and some rare earths such as yttrium". Assaying during the recent work yielded values of up to 8 grams per tonne gold and 4182 grams per tonne silver in a float specimen that "also contained the identical suite of minerals and trace elements as contained in the mineralized quartz veins". One particularly large diorite sill is reported to contain many of the quartz veins, which in part exhibit a finely banded cherty appearance. The sills are in some cases weakly mineralized with chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. Furthermore, a prominent fracture which strongly suggests a fissure, occurs near the highway at Hazel Creek; a sample of this material yielded values in zinc, lead and rare earths. This fissure appears to cut the sedimentary rocks at a shallow angle, trending 330 degrees and dipping nearly vertical; the age is speculated as probably Jurassic-Cretaceous.
In 1995, Arbor Resources Inc. and Klondike Gold Mines drilled 1 hole (76.5 metres). In 1999, Black Bull Resources (BC) Ltd. surveyed the property.
In 2019, DLP Resources Inc. completed a program of geological mapping on the area as the JR and RJ properties.
