The Westenhiser Creek showing is part of a larger property located immediately adjacent to the village of Likely, and extends from Boswell Lake in the south to Kangaroo Creek in the north. Quesnel Lake and Quesnel River form the approximate southwestern boundary to the property. The area is readily accessible from Highway 97 at 150 Mile House by 75 kilometres of all-weather paved and gravel road to Likely. All-weather gravel roads lead from Likely to Quesnel Forks, Keithley Creek and Spanish Lake through the central portion of the property. Numerous logging roads, which vary from good two wheel-drive roads to overgrown walking trails, provide ready access to most of the property.

In 1985, prospecting discovered a quartz-pyrite vein in the rocky canyon of Westenhiser Creek, approximately 500 metres upstream from its confluence with the Cariboo River, 9 kilometres northwest of Likely.

The Westenhiser Creek showing is a mineralized shear zone, approximately 10 metres wide, striking 100 degrees and dipping vertically. Within the shear are three prominent quartz-pyrite veins, measuring approximately 40, 40 and 80 centimetres in width, as well as several narrower veins of 5 to 10 centimetres width. The hostrocks are moderately silicified argillites and siltstones of the Middle-Upper Triassic Nicola Group.

In 1985, a sample (26035) of mineralized vein material assayed 6.00 grams per tonne gold, 13.5 grams per tonne silver and 0.204 per cent copper (Turna, R. (2009-05-08): Technical Report on the Kangaroo Property).

In 1986, a varied program of grid establishment, fill-in soil sampling, geological mapping and sampling, excavator trenching and geochemical rock sampling was carried out in several areas on the large (520 units) Cariboo-Likely project of Mt. Calvery Resources. The quartz-pyrite vein system was chip sampled along both the eastern and western canyon walls and the best assay was 1.14 grams per tonne gold over 1.0 metre (Assessment Report 14956).

In 2002, Barker Minerals Ltd. collected 24 till samples from an area immediately to the north of the Westenhiser Creek occurrence as part of their Frank Creek-Ace exploration project.

In 2019 and 2020, KORE Mining Ltd. completed programs of prospecting and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling on the area as part of the South Cariboo property.
