The Long Lake East showing is located on the east side of Long Lake, approximately 23 kilometres northwest of Peachland.

The area is underlain by quartz diorite/granodiorite of the Early Jurassic Brenda stock, which is part of the Pennask Batholith.

Locally, copper (chalcopyrite?) mineralization exposed in outcrops of porphyritic quartz diorite.

During the exploration boom around the Brenda mine (MINFILE 092HNE047) in the 1960s, this showing was held by Noranda Exploration Company Limited. In 1970, Arrow Inter-America completed an airborne magnetic survey, totalling 752 line-kilometres, on the area as the Tic and Toc claims. During 2006 through 2012, Bitterroot Resources completed programs of rock, silt and soil sampling, geological mapping, 147.6 line-kilometres of ground magnetic surveys and a 66.2 line-kilometre ground induced polarization survey on the area as the North Brenda property.
