An incline reported to be 15 metres deep is partly caved about 6 metres below the collar (ca. 1940s). The incline follows a quartz vein about 2.4 metres wide near the contact of a small body of granite with a sequence of argillite and schist. The quartz in the dump is sparsely mineralized with pyrite, galena and sphalerite but high assays in gold and silver are reported. Two trenches expose quartz vein material about 30 metres north of the incline.

Hostrocks are believed to be metasediments of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group and/or Devonian to Permian Harper Ranch Group intruded by Triassic to Jurassic granitic bodies.

Earliest work reported on the Pole Star claim was in 1899 when an incline shaft was sunk to 7.9 metres. The Pole Star claim was Crown granted in 1902 but has since Reverted. An airborne magnetic and VLF-EM survey was flown in 1972 on behalf of Alberta Copper and Resources Ltd. on claims which covered the Pole Star showing. The WK claim was staked over the showing in 1983 and in 1984 a preliminary soil survey was carried out on behalf of Callex Mineral Exploration Ltd. In 1987, Callex Mineral Exploration Ltd. conducted an VLF EM-16 survey.
