The exact location of the Gold Bar No. 1 occurrence is not known. The Gold Bar claim was reported to lie on the south side of Bitter Creek about 1.6 kilometres above its mouth, 12 kilometres north-northeast of Stewart (Geological Survey of Canada Map 28A and Memoir 175).

The area is underlain by greenstones of the Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation (Hazelton Group) close to the contact with the Tertiary(?) Bitter Creek quartz monzonite pluton (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 175; Bulletin 58; 63).

Since the exact location is uncertain, the nature of the hostrocks is not clear. According to Geological Survey of Canada Map 28A, the mineralization is hosted in the Bitter Creek pluton. The showing comprises a quartz vein, up to 3 metres wide, that is reported to carry gold (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 32; 175).

On the Americus Girl claims, at an elevation of 500 metres, a 0.8 to 1.2 metre wide quartz vein contains minor chalcopyrite and pyrite. It is reported to contain gold values of about 5.8 grams per tonne ($3.50 per tonne) (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1925). Another narrower, roughly parallel quartz vein lies about 60 metres lower.

The Good Enough claim group, which included the Gold Bar No. 1 claim, was owned by Crosset and associates in 1910. That year 12 metres of tunnelling was reported. The America's (Americus) Girl claim group, staked in about 1925, covered approximately the same area. This claim group was owned by Duke, Campbell and Cullen who completed some opencutting and stripping and emplaced two(?) short tunnels during 1925-27. The recent Tenajon Goldbar property is located just to the east of these showings. In 1994, a program of geochemical and geophysical surveying on the Empire group of claims for Prime Equities International was conducted. A total of 397 soil samples were collected and 3.5 kilometres of VLF-EM and 6.7 kilometres of magnetometer survey completed. In 1999, the Red 1-6 claims were staked by D.E. Molloy as part of a regional geochemical and geological evaluation and in 2000 an exploration program was carried out under the BC Prospectors Assistance Program. The exploration activities included compass and chain surveying of access roads, the installation of various flagged grid and control lines, and detailed and reconnaissance geological and geochemical surveys including the collection of 113 stream sediment, rock, soil and check samples.
