The occurrence is located approximately 15 kilometres west of Adams Lake, 15 kilometres north of the small town of Scotch Creek.
The property containing the occurrence is underlain by the Eagle Bay Assemblage unit EBG6 comprised of carbonaceous and calcareous phyllite, minor quartzite, diopside-amphibole gneiss, and calc-silicate and the Eagle Bay Assemblage unit EBG5 comprised of sericite and calcareous phyllite, chlorotic and carbonaceous phyllite, minor marble. Both units contain shallow dipping foliation-oriented east to northeast strike, and 10 to 30 degrees dips to the north to northwest (MacIntyre, D. (2016-11-26): Technical Report, Berger-Golden Eagle Mineral Property).
A small trench at the northeast end of the map area has exposed a massive pyrrhotite layer with minor chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena. The sulphide layer has an exposed thickness of 80 centimetres and a length of a few metres. It is within a very rusted, siliceous calcsilicate gneiss. Based on its base and precious metal content, and location relative to the projected eastern extension of EBGI, it may be at approximately the same stratigraphic level as the Lucky Coon (082M 012) sulphide layer. A high pyrrhotite content, relative to pyrite, may reflect higher metamorphic grade.
In 1949, Pioneer Gold Mines Ltd. completed the earliest recorded work including geological mapping surveys.
In 1979, Alpine Silver Ltd. completed diamond drilling on the property. No significant base metals were encountered in the pyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization intersected while drilling.
In 1981, Corinthian Mines Ltd. conducted a small drilling program on the Golden Eagle and Berger property.
In 1983 to 1984, Mackenzie Range Gold Inc. completed a property wide magnetometer geophysics survey.
In 1987 to 1988, geochemical prospecting and soil sampling was completed by Mineta Resources Ltd. Anomalous silver, lead, and zinc values were observed across the soil sampling grid.
In 1998, the BCGS surveyed the area. The exploration work lead to the discovery of the AP98-408 occurrence.
In 2014, Nexco completed an exploration program including geological mapping, geochemical sampling, prospecting, and ground magnetometer geophysics. Highlighted results include sample BER005 a rock chip sample of 0.12 metres width returning grades of 0.05 percent copper, 4.18 percent lead, and 7.48 percent zinc, and sample BER017 a rock chip sample 0.15 metres wide grading 0.16 percent copper, 9.33 percent lead, 2.49 percent zinc, and 113 grams per tonne silver (MacIntyre, D. (2016-11-26): Technical Report, Berger-Golden Eagle Mineral Property).
