The Shiloh showing is located 1.5 kilometres east of Ymir. The Shiloh and Royal claims were Crown Granted sometime prior to 1917. Two adits occur on the Shiloh claim, only one of which (the western one) was driven on mineralization.

The area is underlain by argillite, siltstone, chert, wacke and grit of the Lower Jurassic Ymir Group. Middle to Late Jurassic granitic rocks of the Nelson Intrusions occur to the east and west.

A mineralized shear zone from 1.2 to 2.1 metres wide crosscuts argillites. The shear strikes north 310 degrees and dips about 50 degrees northeast. It contains crushed country rocks with veinlets of quartz containing pyrite, sphalerite and galena and some calcite.

A sample taken across 1.4 metres of the shear zone in the west adit containing minor pyrite and sphalerite mineralization assayed 1.03 grams per tonne gold, trace silver, 0.03 per cent zinc and trace lead (Assessment Report 8924).
