The exact location of the Black Bear showing is not known. The Bornite claims, a restaking of the Black Bear claims (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1930), were reported to adjoin the Red Top (104A 021) and Barite (104A 020) claim groups. The showing is assumed to lie northwest of the Red Top showing.

The area is underlain by east striking, north dipping andesitic volcanics of the Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation (Hazelton Group). Galena and chalcopyrite vein showings, carrying values in copper, gold, silver and lead, are reported (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1930). No details are available on the mineralization.

The Black Bear claims were staked before 1916 when the Black Bear claim was Crown granted to Robertson. Gillof and associates restaked the claims as the Bornite group of 6 claims in 1930. Surface exploration was reported that year. The subsequent history of the showing is unknown.
