The TP-Camp showing, on the Teepee property, is located on the southwest side of Teepee Peak, about 54 kilometres west of Atlin. The showing is about 400 metres south of the TP-Main showing (104M 048) and about 500 metres northwest of the TP-Central (104M 050) showing.
The claim area is underlain by the northeastern trending belt of the Devonian to Middle Triassic Boundary Ranges Metamorphic Suite, which is the oldest exposed rocks in this region. It consists of greenstone gneiss, greenschist, marble and skarn. This suite is intruded by Late Cretaceous Coast Plutonic Complex granites and Early Jurassic Ultramafic Intrusive hornblendite in the region. Close to the showing, the metamorphic rocks are overlain by Early Eocene rocks of the Sloko Group, which consists of rhyolite, volcaniclastic rocks, conglomerates, and coarse clastic sedimentary rocks. These are intruded by Paleocene to Eocene granite and alkali feldspar granite of the Sloko-Hyder Plutonic Suite.
The property contains many hornfels zones with disseminated pyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite and magnetite. There are also several areas of skarn development (variable epidote, chlorite, tremolite-actinolite, magnetite and pyrrhotite) on the property.
At the TP-Camp showing, a small lens of skarn occurs in gneiss and schist of the Boundary Ranges Metamorphics. The northwest trending skarn zone is exposed discontinuously for 60 metres and is 1 to 7 metres in width. A quartz-feldspar porphyry body of unknown size is in contact with the skarn at its north end. The skarn consists of two types: garnet-epidote-calcite and massive magnetite. Disseminated pyrrhotite locally constitutes up to 40 per cent of the skarn.
There is no record of early work in the area, but old trenches and cabins are found in the area. In 1982, two mineral occurrences, the Main (104M 048) and Camp, were discovered by Trigg, Woollett, Olson Consulting Ltd. while exploring on behalf of Texaco Canada Resources Ltd. The TP claim was staked, and a limited amount of prospecting, rock - and stream-sediment geochemical sampling, as well as reconnaissance geological mapping were completed on and around the claim. In 1983, more detailed exploration comprising geological mapping, trenching, and geophysics was carried out. The TP claim was optioned to Cypress Gold Canada Ltd. in 1987. In 1988, Cyprus expanded the property and did follow up work on aeromagnetic anomalies. In 1989, prospecting, sampling, geochemical - and geophysical surveys as well as 1371 metres of diamond drilling were conducted on the property. This work was mainly on the Crine (104M 081) veins to the north. In 1990, trenching, diamond drilling, prospecting, and sampling were completed on the Crine veins and the UM (104M 084) vein was discovered to the southeast on the Add claims.
In 1996, Westmin Resources Limited completed a program of diamond drilling and lithogeochemical sampling on the TP claim. The diamond drilling was concentrated on a 15 by 200 metre, north-northwest trending zone of semi-conformable gold-cobalt skarn mineralization (Main showing). A total of 694 metres was drilled in six holes over three drill sites. Lithogeochemical prospecting resulted in the collection of twelve rock grab samples.
