The Kami 5 occurrence is located in the north western head waters of Banting Creek, approximately 7.3 kilometres south of Shiell Lake.

The area is underlain by granite and granodiorite of the Jurassic Nelson Plutonic suite.

Locally, trenching has uncovered a series of narrow, 0.01 to 0.50- metre thick, gently dipping, quartz veins with pyrite, galena and sphalerite mineralization cutting a sericite-carbonate– altered and foliated granodiorite. The sulphides occur as irregular patches to clots with rare massive bands parallel to the vein contacts.

In 1997, a 25-centimetre chip sample assayed 39.6 grams per tonne gold and 1000 grams per tonne silver (Exploration in BC 1997, page 41). Select samples are reported to have assayed up to 54.60 grams per tonne gold and 1380 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 31444).

In 2007, sampling of a galena-sphalerite– rich lens exposed by hand trenching in the stockwork zone of the main showing assayed 48.3 grams per tonne gold, 720 grams per tonne silver, 2.78 per cent lead and 4.91 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 31444).

In 2009, two diamond drill holes (KM09-01 and KM09-02) each intersected a narrow quartz vein yielding 1.43 and 1.67 grams per tonne gold with 66.3 and 50.7 grams per tonne silver over 0.15 and 0.35 metre, respectively (Assessment Report 31444).

Another three zones (B, C and D) of similar mineralization are reported approximately 250 to 300 metres to the north- north west and east- south east. In 2009, sampling of the B zone to the north- north west assayed up to 20.4 grams per tonne gold, 1070 grams per tonne silver and 0.24 per cent lead (Assessment Report 31444).

In 1997, trenching was performed on the Kami 5 claim by Arnold Savjord under a grant from the Prospector's Assistance Program. In 2006, Selkirk Mineral Syndicate soil sampled the area. During 2007 through 2009, Kootenay Gold completed programs of prospecting and geochemical sampling the area immediately north and west as the Devil property. During 2007 through 2009, Aurion Resources completed programs of prospecting, hand trenching, rock and soil sampling, a ground induced polarization survey and three diamond drill holes, totalling 310.2 metres.
