At the Bear Cat showing, an adit is located on the south side of a small tributary to Jamieson Creek. It has been driven southeasterly for about 24 metres and follows a lenticular quartz vein for 21 metres at which point the vein narrows to a knife edge and then disappears as a joint in wallrock. The vein dips steeply eastward and ranges in width from 0.3 to 1.8 metres. Mineralization consists of sparse pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena. Wallrock comprises highly contorted limy phyllites, and graphitic and sericitic schists of the Carboniferous to Triassic Nicola and/or Harper Ranch groups. The metasediments strike 025 degrees and dip steeply east. Numerous drag folds disrupt the stratigraphy and crossjoints are filled with quartz-calcite stringers. Multiple porphyry dikes and sills intrude the stratigraphy and vary from diorite to feldspar porphyry to a more felsic composition.
The Royal Star showing is located about 350 metres east of the Bear Cat and is situated along the east bank of Jamieson Creek near creek level. Hostrocks are contorted argillite, and graphitic and sericitic schists. A short incline was put down on quartz stringers striking 015 degrees and sparsely mineralized with pyrite and pyrrhotite. A grab sample of mineralized quartz vein material from a point 150 metres south of the incline and along a small creek analysed 1.7 grams per tonne gold, 94.5 grams per tonne silver, 1.08 per cent lead and 1.11 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 21040).
The Bear Cat claims were staked in 1934 and owned by G.P. Miles and associates of Kamloops and Vancouver. An adit is driven southeasterly for 24 metres following a quartz vein. A winze, 12 metres from the portal, is sunk to 4.8 metres. The Royal Star group of claims were located along the east bank of Jamieson Creek and owned by M. Salk and associates of Kamloops. A short incline and opencut explored quartz stringers. In 1980, the Gold Rush claims were staked over the Bear Cat and Royal Star showings and in 1982, work consisted of trenching and one drillhole (no data available). The Moen claims were staked in 1989 to cover the showings and in 1990, prospecting, mapping and rock sampling was performed by P. Watt.
