The PANORAMA showing is located on the east side of Greata Creek approximately 6 kilometres west of Peachland.

The showing is underlain by granodiorite of the Early Jurassic Pennask Batholith.

During the period 1899-1901 the showing was explored for gold and silver by J.L. Webster. An open cut and a 4-metre adit date from that period. In 1969, Brendako Mines Ltd. explored this area for porphyry copper deposits. The PANORAMA showing was covered by the SID 12 claim, although there are no records of exploration or results specifically directed at this showing.

References to mineralization in this area group the PANORAMA and the LITTLE DUNCAN (082ENW034) showings together. The MINFILE descriptions are therefore identical for these occurrences. The LITTLE DUNCAN is located 400 metres to the north.

Gold and silver values with a trace of copper (chalcopyrite?) were reportedly from quartz veins on the property. Another report refers to a 0.6 to 1.5 metre quartz vein carrying marcasite and galena.
