The Gwen showing is in an area where Guichon variety granodiorite of the Late Triassic-Middle Jurassic Guichon Creek batholith is flanked to the east and west by Eocene Kamloops Group volcanics, located on the southerly slopes of Mount Fehr. Trenching has exposed a zone of weakly disseminated chalcopyrite, pyrite, limonite and malachite in granodiorite. Shallow diamond drilling intersected tiny quartz veinlets (1-2 millimetres)with minor disseminated chalcopyrite and pyrite. The mineralization is associated with variable chlorite, sericite and potassic alteration in zones of shearing.

In 1994, work performed on behalf of G. Bried consisted of 3 diamond-drill holes totalling 97 metres, 3 kilometres of ground magnetometer survey, 92 soil samples, 7 trenches totalling 116 metres and 38 rock samples.
