There appears to be some confusion regarding the location of the Virginia; at least three separate but reasonably close locations are indicated by the map on page E10 of the Minister of Mines Annual Report for 1937. First, there is a symbol with the name Virginia, just east of Arkansas Lake; second, the Virginia Crown grant (Lot 6887); and third, the Crown grant Ohio (Lot 5962) assigned to the Virginia in MINFILE, both on the map and on the data sheet, from which recorded production has come. To add to the confusion, the Geological Survey of Canada National Mineral Inventory lists the Virgina as a sub-name for the North Wind property (082FSE049).

The property is located between elevations of 1830 to 2137 metres on the west side of John Bull Mountain, on the Summit Creek watershed some 24 kilometres east-southeast of Salmo. The Echo group of claims (082FSE031) lies to the southeast and the Bayonne group (082FSE030) lies to the east. See Bayonne for exploration details.

There is general consensus among the references consulted that the showings consist of a fracture, slip surface or fracture zone, varying along its length from 0.3 to 1 metre wide, in places filled with leached, honeycombed quartz up to 0.6 metre thick, and variably gossanous. Sheared rusty granodiorite adjoins the fissure in places, which is hosted in granodiorite of the Mine stock, part of the Nelson intrusions of Middle Jurassic age. Gossan and crushed granitic material contain traces of gold; however, recorded production in 1936 and 1938 of 19 tonnes averaged 19.5 grams per tonne gold and 30.8 grams per tonne silver.

The fracture system strikes 105 to 100 degrees and dips 72-85 degrees to the north; it has been exposed over a strike length of 100 metres. Geochemical and physical work (mapping, trenching) was performed over this and adjoining ground by Goldrich Resources in 1987.
