Access to the Cahill 6 showing area can be made by gravel road which begins 2.7 kilometres southeast of Hedley on Highway 3. The road crosses Redtop Gulch and Cahill Creek and passes by the Nickel Plate (Mascot) mine and the Canty mine. A logging road branches southerly and trends through the centre of the Cahill 3-12 claims, a total distance of about 15 kilometres. An alternate route can be made from Penticton, by paved road to Apex Ski Resort then by gravel road for a total distance of approximately 45 kilometres. Secondary logging roads lead to additional parts of the claim group.
The area near Cahill Creek is underlain by massive andesitic crystal-lithic ash tuff and siliceous ash tuff of the Upper Triassic Whistle Creek Formation (Nicola Group) intruded by diorite and gabbro dikes and sills of the Early Jurassic Hedley Intrusions.
Preliminary prospecting of an area approximately 30 hectares on the Cahill 6 and 8 claims revealed slopes covered with overburden and large boulders, often of granitic composition. Near the eastern boundary of Cahill 8 biotite granite outcrops in low cliffs. Otherwise, rock exposures are limited to several cuts in recent (2000) logging roads in the vicinity of rock samples C-1 to C-3. Greenish siliceous skam contains finely disseminated pyrite. Chalcedony occasionally occurs on thin fracture planes or joints. Fracturing at rock sample location C-1 has allowed oxidation of pyrite in skarn and distribution of iron oxides into the soil downslope to the west.
Rock sample C-1, a horizontal chip channel across 2.3 metres of a rusty fracture zone, analyzed 3440 ppb gold and 591 ppm copper (Assessment Report 26668).
