The Purple Chubbs showing is located on a ridge separating Marsh and Hudu creeks, approximately 7.7 kilometres north of Fruitvale. The property was staked by Tom Kennedy in 2009 and prospecting work by Kennedy led to the discovery of several thin, west-trending gold-quartz veins.

Regionally, the area is underlain by mainly volcaniclastic and metasedimentary rocks of the Early Jurassic Rossland Group. The Middle Jurassic Bonnington pluton is exposed in the northern part of the claim group and related granitic dikes occur throughout the area.

Locally, the showing is underlain by northwest- trending metasediments and metavolcanics of the Elise Formation, intruded in the north by the southern edge of the Bonnington batholith.

Mineralization is mainly east-west– trending, coarse- to medium- grained quartz with small amounts of sulphides (pyrite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite and rare tetrahedrite), chlorite and sericite. These range in thickness from a few centimetres to 1 metre and carry elevated gold values. Mineralized veins are preferentially concentrated in the more competent conglomerates of the Elise Formation, and many of these occur near a small granitic intrusion of the Bonnington pluton. A number of thin veins also occur adjacent to several north- trending faults that appear to be splays of the Marsh Creek fault. Sampling, in 2009, returned values up to 523 parts per billion gold and 897 parts per million copper (Assessment Report 31779).

Approximately, 500 metres to the south east, a number of thin quartz veins, also trending east-west, occur close to the faulted contact of the previous conglomerate unit and augite basalts. These veins contain minor pyrite, chalcopyrite, chlorite, and epidote. Samples have returned up to 444 parts per million copper. Several quartz veins or small breccia zones occur farther north along the north- trending faults, and these contain anomalous gold, up to 590 parts per billion (Assessment Report 31779).
