The Alpine molybdenum prospect is in the southwest part of the Shulaps Range, at the headwaters of La Rochelle Creek. The showing is underlain by schists and phyllites of the Mississippian to Jurassic Bridge River Complex and intruded by syn- to post-tectonic granitic to felsic porphyry of the Eocene Mission Ridge pluton. These rocks are, in turn, structurally overlain by ophiolites of the Permian and older Shulaps Ultramafic Complex.

The Alpine showing is a quartz vein, 2.5 metres wide and approximately 50 metres long, containing molybdenum and weakly anomalous gold and silver values. The adjacent granodiorite hostrock is extremely fractured, limonitic-stained and contains chalcopyrite, malachite and azurite.

In 2011, Miocene Metals Ltd. conducted rock, silt and soil sampling on the Shulaps property. Highlights from this rock sampling program includes float sample K880741, which assayed 0.82 per cent copper and 18 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 32452).
