The Gilnockie Trib occurrence is located about 47 kilometres south of Cranbrook in an area underlain by sedimentary strata of the Helikian Creston Formation, Purcell Supergroup.

A southwest to south-flowing tributary of Gilnockie Creek, has itself several smaller south-east flowing tributaries, which were prospected and sampled in 2015 revealing significant copper mineralization. Sample TK15-249 graded about 0.26 per cent copper, 3.5 per cent silver, and 0.019 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 35769). The sample was described as being hosted by 15-centimetre-wide bed of siltstone and argillite with a 1-centimeter-wide bed of fine-grained calcareous quartzite containing copper staining and disseminated grey 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).
