The Noble 5 occurrence is located east of Peavine Creek, a south flowing tributary of the North Thompson River, at an elevation of approximately 760 metres.

The area is underlain by Lower Cambrian part of the Eagle Bay metavolcanics consisting of chlorite schist and greenstone and a conformable northwest trending band of limestone.

Locally, an adit in an area of greenstone hosted by sericitic quartz phyllite and chlorite schist contains mineralized quartz veins. No further information is reported.

In 1989, a sample (42766) assayed 3.9 per cent lead, 304.0 grams per tonne silver and 1.33 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 20019).

In 1962, Herslev & Humphrey completed a program of geological mapping, sampling and a dip needle survey on the area as the Sinbad and Roc claims. In 1966, Crowpat Minerals optioned the property and completed three diamond drill holes, totalling 451.5 metres. During 1969 through 1971, Calby Mining completed five diamond drill holes, totalling 365.4 metres, and trenching. In 1975 and 1976, Kerr-Dawson Associates completed a program of geological mapping and soil sampling on the area as the Nimsic claims. In 1977, Canadian Nickel completed a program of geological mapping, soil sampling and ground electromagnetic and magnetic surveys. During 1983 through 1988, Placer Development completed programs of geological mapping, ground and airborne geophysical surveys and geochemical sampling on the area as the Noble 1-6 claims. In 1989, Placer Dome and Denison Mines completed a program of geological mapping, rock and soil sampling and ground geophysical surveys. In 2011, the area was prospected as the Peavine property.
