The Bone Creek carbonatite is located on the east side of the North Thompson River. It is easily accessed by logging roads which intersect Highway 5 about 23 kilometres north of Blue River.

The Bone Creek showing is a buff-weathering rauhaugite, occurring as a sill within quartz-hornblende-mica schist of the Semipelite Amphibolite Division of the Hadrynian Horsethief Creek Group. Other lithologies include biotite hornblende gneiss, semipelite and amphibolite. The Verity occurrence (083D 005) contains a more detailed description of the regional setting.

This rauhaugite showing consists of two main outcrops. Drill hole data suggests that a thin horizontal sheet, approximately 2.3 metres thick pinches out to the north, or has been offset by faulting.

Accessory minerals in the carbonatite include amphibole, apatite, magnetite and minor phlogopite. Ilmenite, pyrochlore, columbite and zircon may be present in trace amounts. The amphibole may be richterite, soda-tremolite, tremolite or actinolite. Amphibole and apatite within the rauhaugite define a foliation parallel with compositional banding. Vertical mineral zoning is apparent in weathered outcrop. Alternating apatite-amphibole-rich and carbonate-rich layers parallel the foliation and the contact with country rocks. Color banding of 2 to 5 centimetres thickness in weathered outcrops is not reflected in drill core.

The carbonatite, as indicated by drilling, averaged 0.0198 per cent tantalum, 0.047 per cent niobium, and 3.4 per cent P2O5. A one- metre intersection assayed 0.0188 per cent uranium. (Assessment Report 9566, 10274). A 15-centimetre core sample from drill hole BC-12 assayed 0.0578 per cent tantalum, 0.21 per cent niobium and 1.9 per cent phosphate (Assessment Report 9566). The highest phosphate assay value, from drill hole BC-5, was 5.37 per cent (Assessment Report 9566). Molybdenite was also noted in drill core from this showing.
