The Hiren Creek (Bingo) occurrence is located south of Hiren Creek, approximately 4.5 kilometres west of its junction with the Jordan River.
The area lies on the southern flank of the Frenchman Cap Dome, along the eastern margin of the Shuswap Metamorphic Complex. Underlying rocks include calc-silicate gneiss and marble comprising part of the domal covering gneisses.
Locally, a north- trending fracture, adjacent to a major north- trending fault, dips 75 degrees west and transects grey mica schist and a layer of buff-weathered, fine-grained dolomite. Galena, sphalerite and pyrite are disseminated over a 2 by 6- metre area west of the fracture. South of this showing are masses of purple fluorite.
In 2011, a rock sample (MKHNR004) yielded 0.025 per cent niobium, while another rock sample (BKHNR001), taken across Hiren Creek to the north, yielded up to 0.432 per cent rare earth elements (Assessment Report 32633).
In 2010, Zimtu Capitol prospected and sampled the area as the Hiren claims. In 2011, Critical Elements completed a program of rock and silt sampling and airborne geophysical surveys on the area. These programs centred on rare earth element exploration.
