The VICTORIA EAST showing is located on the northern slope of Lightning Peak, approximately 1.9 kilometres northwest of the summit. This occurrence is 220 metres northwest of the RAMPALO (082ENE032) adits.

The showing occurs in greenstone of the Devonian-Triassic Harper Ranch Group which is hosted by granodiorite and diorite of an unnamed Middle Jurassic intrusion. Near the showing, granodiorite intrudes the Harper Ranch Group and quartz porphyry dikes are commonly associated with quartz veining.

The first recorded work on the VICTORIA EAST showing is a 1930 description of surface work by the claim owner A. Scaia. The report describes a 15-centimetre wide quartz vein which strikes 325 degrees, dips 60 degrees northeast and is associated with a quartz porphyry dike. Pyrite is noted in the vuggy quartz vein.

In 1968-69, International Mine Services Ltd. carried out geochemical and geological surveys and a diamond drill program for the Great Horn Mining Syndicate. The VICTORIA EAST showing was covered by the PEAK 96 claim during this period. The International Mine Services program focused on the WATERLOO (082ENE017) mine, and little attention appears to have been paid to the VICTORIA EAST area.

In 1984-85, Zalmac Mines Limited carried out VLF-EM and IP surveys over portions of the BIG P 1, 2 & 3 claims, which include the VICTORIA EAST area. The surveys identified 3 polarizable anomalies coincident with east-west VLF-EM conductors. It was speculated that these anomalies may represent mineralized shear zones. Several northeast trending conductors were detected by a 1985 VLF-EM survey. It was suggested that they could be extensions of the RAMPALO (082ENE032), VICTORIA and LUMPY (082ENE031) structures.

In 1991-92, Zalmac Mines Limited carried out a program of geological mapping, soil and rock sampling, surveying and aerial photograph studies of the general area around, and including, the VICTORIA EAST showing. Lineations identified by the aerial photograph study coincide with anomalous gold, silver and base metal soil geochemistry.

A grab sample from the VICTORIA EAST showing assayed 18 grams per tonne gold and 471.5 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 22875).
