The BA property is centred 3 kilometres west of Mount Strohn at the north end of the Cambria Icefield, about 30 kilometres northeast of Stewart.

The majority of the property is underlain by mostly pyroclastic fragmental volcanic rocks of mafic to intermediate composition corresponding to the lower units of the Jurassic Hazelton Group. These are overlain by a horizon of pale grey to white felsic pyroclastic rocks which vary in thickness from a few dozen metres to over a kilometre and is referred to as the Mount Dilworth Formation. Above this horizon at the higher elevations near Mount Strohn are thin bedded to laminated mudstone, siltstone, tuffaceous chert and chert of the Salmon River Formation.

The major structural features of the property are broad, parallel, northwest-trending synclines and anticlines. Typically, the more competent volcanic stratigraphy is broadly folded, whereas the sedimentary strata often contains evidence of isoclinal folding. Sediments of the Salmon River Formation unconformably overlie volcanics of the older Hazelton rocks. Steep angle fractures and faults striking northwest and parallel to the overall tectonic trend of the region are common.

In 2010, a mapping program led to the discovery of the Bod zone to the north of the Barbara and BA North zones. The Bod zone is about 500 metres north-northeast of the BA North zone and on surface consists of brecciated volcaniclastics with quartz + carbonate + sulphide flooding and veining. A 1.2 metre channel sample (61265) from the Bod zone assayed 105 grams per tonne silver, 0.04 per cent lead and 0.55 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 32877). Sulphides include fine-grained pyrite, sphalerite and galena.

In 2002, the Stro 1-3 and the BA 1-4 claims were acquired by E.R. Kruchkowski. In 2005, the claims were jointly owned by Pinnacle Mines Corp. (50%) and Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. (50%). In August and September of 2006, follow-up prospecting and sampling led to the discovery of the Barbara zone. The summer program consisted of geochemical sampling that included chip sampling across mineralized structures and horizons and grab sampling of outcrop and float; a total of 32 grab, 110 float and 4 chip samples were collected. Mountain Boy Minerals optioned the property in the fall of 2006 and from the fall of 2006 to the fall of 2008, the Barbara zone was drilled. Over the next three years, a total of 13,550 metres of BTW size core was drilled in 93 holes from 55 different drill pads. Some limited trenching and surface sampling was also conducted during this time (internal company data, 2009). In 2010, Great Bear Resources Ltd. conducted an exploration program on the BA property which included a VTEM (helicopter-borne time-domain electromagnetic) survey and a diamond drill program comprising 85 drillholes totalling 14,791 metres.
