The Moneta showing is located on the ridge between Pearce Gulch and Peter Gulch creeks, 700 metres northwest of the past-producing Cariboo Hudson mine (093A 071), about 23 kilometres southeast of Barkerville.

The showing is hosted by a succession of phyllites, limestones,sericitic quartzites and argillaceous mica schists assigned to the Downey succession of the Upper Proterozoic-Paleozoic Snowshoe Group (Open File 2004-11). The surface showing is described only as galena in argillaceous rock. In 1987, Cathedral Gold Corporation tested the Moneta showing with a short diamond-drill hole (CC-87-9) as part of a larger exploration on the Cariboo-Hudsone mine property. The hole intersected some galena mineralization (with quartz, pyrite and locally sphalerite) but the mineralization did not contain significant gold values (Assessment Report 16743).

During 2000 through 2008, Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical (rock, soil, moss and stream sediment) sampling, ground magnetic and self potential surveys, trenching and 60 diamond drill holes, totalling 28,710.0 metres on the area as the Golden Cariboo property. A complete summary of exploration programs can be found at the Cariboo Hudson (MINFILE 093A 091) occurrence.
