The Ward Creek Slope occurrence is located about 48 kilometres south-southeast of Cranbrook in an area underlain by sedimentary strata of the Helikian Creston Formation, Purcell Supergroup.

Sample SK15-33 taken on the south slope of the Ward Creek valley graded 0.17 per cent copper, 0.024 per cent lead, and 5.7 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 35769). A 30-centimetre band of fine-grained quartzite with finely disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite in a sequence of thicker bedded fine-grained quartzites. Below the mineralized bed is a 1-metre-thick green argillite bed with fracture copper.

In 2015, Kootenay Silver Inc. continued mapping in the Jake Ridge (082GSW109), KRL (Jake (082GSW070) and Snake), Oke Creek areas; the Middle block which included Yahk Mountain to Haller Creek; and the South block which included the Gilnockie (creek) to North Ward (082GSW089) area (Assessment Report 36022). Prospecting and mapping identified some alteration zones where sufficient outcrop enabled recognition to the north at Silver Pipe (082GSW058), KRL (Sarah, 082GSW087), and Jake Ridge (082GSW109). Copper mineralization was previously recognized at Jake Ridge (082GSW109), Yahk Mountain (082GSW072), Haller Creek north (082GSW103), and Ward Creek (082GSW105). Also in 2015, Kootenay Silver collected 229 rock samples and conducted prospecting. Prospecting was focused on three areas during the program, from north to south they were the Jake Ridge (082GSW109), Yahk Ridge (082GSW072), and Ward Creek (082GSW105) areas (Assessment Report 35769 and 36064). Several small copper showings were documented and subsequently added to MINFILE (see 082GSW099 to 110).
