The HALL CREEK asbestos showing is located approximately 9.5 kilometres north of Carmi, on the west side of Hall Creek canyon.

The showing consists of asbestos veins which cut through a serpentinized peridotite of the Carboniferous-Permian Anarchist Group. The serpentine and asbestos occur in the lower 3 metres of a sill-like black saxonite (peridotite?) porphyry which is approximately 20 metres thick. The serpentine occurs as green bands in the black rock and the asbestos occurs in little veinlets in the serpentine. The bands and veinlets lie more or less parallel to the lower contact of the sill. The asbestos veins are seldom more than 2.5 centimetres thick.

In 1996, Madman Mining Co. Ltd. completed a prospecting, soil sampling, and a VLF-EM geophysical survey on the property containing the occurrence.

In 2015, Explorex Resources Inc completed magnetic and VLF-EM geophysical surveys, a prospecting and sampling program on the property containing the occurrence.

In 2017, Coast Mountain Geological Ltd. completed an exploration program including soil sampling, rock sampling, and 26.4 line-kilometres of ground magnetic and VLF-EM surveys. A grab sample (1087876) taken from a historical shaft, located east of Hall Creek and approximately 300 metres east of the Hall Creek occurrence, yielded 3.22 per cent copper, 211.0 grams per tonne silver and 11.7 grams per tonne gold (Chapman, J. [2019-12-27]: National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Arlington Project, Greenwood Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada).

In 2018, Clarmin Exploration Inc. completed a prospecting and soil sampling program on the Arlington property (Assessment Report 36956). The property was returned to Explorex Resources Inc. in late 2018.
