The Wood Grain petrified wood showing is located on the south side of Red Bridge Creek, 1.5 kilometres west-northwest of the creek's confluence with the Ashnola River and 19 kilometres south-southeast of Hedley.
Petrified wood occurs in bentonite of the Eocene Princeton Group(?). The showing consists of three petrified logs up to 5.5 metres long and 0.5 metre wide that have been "opalized". The rounded nature of the logs and the lack of branches suggest that the logs were tumbled before being deposited. The three logs are estimated to contain approximately 500 kilograms of petrified wood (L. Faggetter, personal communication, 1991).
The showing was prospected and sampled by L. Faggetter between 1989 and 1991.
By 2010, the Wood Grain showing had been acquired by Ron Schneider and optioned to Velocity Minerals Inc. as part of their Ashnola claim group. A prospecting and geological mapping program was carried out on the property that year, though no samples were collected from the Wood Grain showing.
In 2011, Grant Crooker expanded the Hedley Gold Project claim group to the north by amalgamating his claims with those owned by Ron Schneider. The expanded property was then optioned to Westcan Uranium Corporation. Three 1:10,000 scale base maps of the property were produced. Rock geochemical sampling was carried out in the central and northern portions of the property.
