The exact location of the Jutland showing is not known. The Jutland claims were reported to lie at the head of the north fork of Bitter Creek (now Roosevelt Creek), 14.5 kilometres from the mouth of Bitter Creek and 4.0 kilometres beyond the Roosevelt occurrence (104A 069).

The area is underlain by andesites of the Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation and sediments of the unconformably overlying Middle Jurassic Salmon River Formation, both formations part of the Hazelton Group.

A 0.46 metre wide quartz vein trends 310 degrees and dips vertically. It contains 2 to 20 centimetres width(?) of galena and tetrahedrite. The best material was reported to assay greater than 6857 grams per tonne silver (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1919).

At about 100 metres higher elevation, another small quartz vein contains high-grade galena and tetrahedrite. The vein lies along the footwall of a schistose slaty unit in the andesite/greenstone.

The Jutland 2-3 claims were owned by Cowan, McGinnis and Watkins in 1919; little work was done on the showing. No further work has been reported.

During 2005 through 2010, Auramex completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical sampling and airborne geophysical surveys on the area as the Bear River-Surprise Creek property.
