The Glacier occurrence is located north of a glacier at the headwaters of Solo Creek. The occurrence is related to the Solo, Bruce and Goldway occurrences (094D 012, 094D 013 and 094D 027). Refer to these occurrences for detailed regional and local geology.

Locally, the area is underlain by mainly feldspar, augite and/or hornblende phyric andesites and basalts, tuffs, lapilli tuffs, volcaniclastic siltstones, sandstones and argillites. These rocks, of the Upper Triassic Takla Group, have been regionally metamorphosed and are gently folded. To the northwest, the rocks are intruded by the Early Jurassic Goldway stock (Assessment Report 21394). The stock ranges in composition from hornblendite to granodiorite and is predominantly fine to medium-grained diorite to quartz diorite. The volcanics and sediments at the generally sharp contact, are hornfelsed (Assessment Report 21394). The rocks are deformed by brittle and ductile shearing and faulting, which predominantly trends northwest. Fault zones occur near the northeast and southern contact zones of the intrusion. Large en echelon tension gashes are formed within these shear zones. The volcanics trend northeast and dip between 45 and 70 degrees to the north.

In 1986, prosepecting by Laramie Mining resulted in the location of the Glacier zone, sampling of which yielded resulted in up to 25 metres of 0.96 grams per tonne gold from a 140-degree trending sheeted quartz-carb vein-set cutting iron-carbonate altered and pyritized tuffs (Assessment Report 15313). Gold mineralization occurs in quartz stockworks cutting a rusty zone of hornfelsed sediments and volcanics. One of the best samples assayed 2.47 grams per tonne gold over 3 metres (Assessment Report 15313, 21394).

In 1986, Gerhard von Rosen sampled numerous locations on the Gold group of claims of Laramie Mining corporation. This included rock chip sampling of the newly-discovered 'Glacier zone' as well as other veins on the Bruce Lake side of Goldway ridge, in addition to the collection of a bulk sample from the “A” vein. About 140 grab and chip samples were collected from newly-discovered zones of quartz veining, as well as a 1360 tonne bulk sample from an easily accessed portion of auriferous quartz from the "A” vein (Assessment Report 15313). The von Rosen report formed the basis of an engineering report for a prospectus to Super Twins Resources (1988) for listing on the Vancouver Stock Exchange.

In 1990, Jetta Resources conducted work on the M Veins and Phyllite Veins (Goldway (094D 027)). Jetta reviewed, summarized and published the 1986 Glacier zone data by von Rosen. It does not appear that Jetta completed any new work on the Glacier zone, which is located about 1.5 kilometres east-northeast of the Goldway occurrence.

In 1994, Hemlo Gold worked on the KPO, GV, Creek and TF zones and Maraposite Creek and Hemlo Drilling collected a total of 717 soils and 195 rocks samples and and constructed 32.4 line kilometers of grid. About 29 line-kilometers of magnetometer surveying was later completed on the property. This work resulted in the definition of a 3 kilometre long and 500-1000 metre wide zone of quartz veined and fractured ankerite and sericite-altered, pyritized andesite tuffs semi-coincident with a greater than 100 parts per billion gold-in-soil anomaly (Assessment Report 23682).

In 1995, Hemlo Gold Mines Inc. continued work on several of the properties described in 1994. Drilling was completed on the Soup and Granite Basin projects while further geological and geochemical surveys were conducted on the Darb and Mariposite projects. In 1995, on the Mariposite property, a total of 111 soils, 508 rocks were collected of which 142 rocks were applied for assessment (Assessment Report 24138, 24238).

Assay results reported to have been yielded “...from the 743 rock samples collected during the 1994/95 programs revealed that 70 samples returned results of greater than or equal to 0.5 gram per tonne gold...”, roughly 9 per cent of the total sample population (Assessment Report 24138, 24778).

In 1996, Battle Mountain Canada (formerly Hemlo Gold Mines lnc.) drilled 461 metres in 2 diamond drill holes on the Mariposite Property (Assessment Report 24778). The program was conducted in order to test amomalous gold in talus line anomalies associated with quark-quartz/calcite stockworking hosted by sericite-ankerite plus/minus biotite-altered andesite volcanics and epiclastics. The drill program incorporated geological and geochemical data collected during the 1994-1995 field seasons. Drill results are discussed in Dort 3 (094D 202).
