The Vancouver (Lot 3797) and Kootenay (Lot 3798) Reverted Crown grants are located on the west flank of Mount Sherman at about 2000 metres elevation. The showings are situated on the relatively gentle south-facing slope at the headwaters of Martell Creek, near the crest of the ridge between Akokli and Sanca creeks, about 4 kilometres east of the shore of Kootenay Lake and 1.5 kilometres southwest of the Gold (German) Basin showing (082FSE039).

The showings are described in Assessment Report 17527 as massive to vuggy limonite-stained quartz veins containing minor pyrite, exposed in old trenches on the Kootenay (northern) Reverted Crown grant. The veins are entirely hosted in granite and granodiorite of the middle Cretaceous Bayonne batholith; aplite float is common on the Vancouver (southern) Reverted Crown grant, where an extensive shear zone was also noted. The veins strike 122 degrees and dip 22 degrees south where observed. Assays of the veins in old trenches reveal weak values in silver (up to 139 grams per tonne), lead (up to 0.56 per cent), zinc (up to 0.27 per cent) and traces of gold (up to 0.55 gram per tonne) (Assessment Report 17527).
