The Peavine occurrence is located on Peavine Creek, a south flowing tributary of the North Thompson River and at an elevation of approximately 1080 metres.

The area is underlain by Lower Cambrian part of the Eagle Bay metavolcanics consisting of chlorite schist and greenstone and a conformable north-west trending band of limestone.

Locally, three adits or pits, located close to the creek bed, expose a quartz-carbonate altered meta-basalt hosting two narrow, 2 to 5 centimetre wide, semi-massive sulphide veins. The veins contain carbonate with sphalerite, galena, arsenopyrite and pyrite with minor chalcopyrite. The meta-basalt is overlain by a thick section of interbedded black shale and recrystallized limestone. The assemblage strikes to the north east.

In 1985, three chip samples (70726 through 70728) assayed from 0.014 to 0.107 per cent copper, 0.172 to 11.3 per cent zinc, 0.055 to 5.9 per cent lead and 15.8 to 26.4 grams per tonne gold. A 1.0 metre chip sample (70730) across the adit assayed 1.08 per cent zinc, 0.69 per cent lead, 11 grams per tonne silver and 4.2 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 14728).

In 1962, Herslev & Humphrey completed a program of geological mapping, sampling and a dip needle survey on the area as the Sinbad and Roc claims. In 1966, Crowpat Minerals optioned the property and completed three diamond drill holes, totalling 451.5 metres. During 1969 through 1971, Calby Mining completed five diamond drill holes, totalling 365.4 metres, and trenching. In 1975 and 1976, Kerr-Dawson Associates completed a program of geological mapping and soil sampling on the area as the Nimsic claims. In 1977, Canadian Nickel completed a program of geological mapping, soil sampling and ground electromagnetic and magnetic surveys. During 1983 through 1988, Placer Development completed programs of geological mapping, ground and airborne geophysical surveys and geochemical sampling on the area as the Noble 1-6 claims. In 1989, Placer Dome and Denison Mines completed a program of geological mapping, rock and soil sampling and ground geophysical surveys. In 2011, the area was prospected as the Peavine property.
