The Teepee showing is located 1600 metres south of the east end of Whitley Lake, and about 5 kilometres southeast of Bridge Lake. The area is approximately 90 kilometres north of Kamloops. A good secondary road leads to within 500 metres of the showing.

The showing consists of molybdenite-chalcopyrite mineralization accompanied by strong K-feldspar alteration in a northwest striking fault zone cutting granodiorite of the Triassic-Jurassic Thuya batholith (Assessment Report 3601). The showing is located immediately to the south of the contact between the batholith and Upper Triassic Nicola Group volcanic rocks. Nicola volcanic rocks are mainly augite andesite flows and breccias and tuff (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 363).

The Teepee claims were staked by T. Gordon of Little Fort and the showing area trenched by Mr. Gordon in 1970. A short adit, now caved, was driven into the cliffside several years prior to this. Royal Canadian Ventures optioned the property, and in 1972 (Assessment Report 3601) undertook soil geochemical surveys (800 samples analysed for copper and molybdenum), magnetometer and VLF-EM surveys (48 kilometres).
