The Golden Bear occurrence is located on the south side of David Creek, north of Bear Creek and approximately 600 metres east of Harrison Lake.

The area is underlain by Devonian-Permian Chilliwack Group basic volcanic rocks and pelites. The rocks are intruded locally by Late Cretaceous or older quartz diorite stocks.

Locally, a mineralized skarn zone occurs along the contact between a quartz diorite intrusion and hydrothermally altered slates and pyritized slates. This skarn unit is locally mineralized with pyrite and chalcopyrite. Elsewhere, quartz veins host disseminated molybdenite, and quartz-carbonate veins host blebs of chalcopyrite. These veins crosscut the slaty pelites.

In 1985, the area was prospected as the Golden Bear claims. In 2012, DGW Consultants prospected and sampled the area. All samples assayed low for precious and base metals.
