The Canadian Pacific showings are located 18.5 kilometres southeast of Nelson between the Ymir mine (082FSW074) to the west and the Sterling mine (082FSW317) to the east. The claims comprising this group were staked in 1896 and 1897. Workings consist of open cuts, tunnels and pits.
The showings are hosted in Jurassic argillites of the Ymir Group which occur as a roof pendant in Middle to Late Jurassic granodiorite of the Nelson batholith.
North trending parallel quartz veins, exposed in the workings, contain thin, discontinuous streaks of pyrite, with lesser amounts of galena and sphalerite. Sericite is a common alteration mineral along shear planes within the veins. Gold content is apparently associated with pyrite and is highest in blue quartz. One opencut exposes a white quartz vein, 2.13 metres wide. No assays or production figures are reported.
