The Evening (L.947) occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1170 metres on the southwestern slopes of Red Mountain.
Regionally, the area is underlain by mudstone, siltstone, shale and fine clastic sedimentary rocks of the Carboniferous to Permian Mount Roberts Formation; basaltic volcanic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Elise Formation (Rossland Group) and trachytic volcanic rocks of the Eocene Marron Formation (Penticton Group). The sediments and volcanics have been intruded by syenitic to monzonitic rocks of the Eocene Coryell Plutonic Suite to the west and quartz monzonitic rocks of the Early Jurassic Rossland Plutonic Suite and granitic rocks of the Middle Jurassic Trail Pluton to the east.
Locally, oxidized volcaniclastics host quartz carbonate stringers with disseminated to semi-massive pyrrhotite, pyrite and lesser chalcopyrite mineralization, whereas molybdenite mineralization has been identified as fracture coatings.
In 2016, two grab samples (242294 and 242295) yielded 2.02 and 5.69 grams per tonne gold with 3.3 and 15.1 grams per tonne silver, respectively, whereas a sample (242290) of subcrop yielded 0.39 gram per tonne gold, 37.4 grams per tonne silver and 0.818 per cent copper (Assessment Report 36233).
In 2017, grab samples from outcrop and former trenches assayed up to 3.47 grams per tonne gold, 12.0 grams per tonne silver, 0.706 per cent copper and 0.532 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 36893).
The area has been explored since the late 1800s in conjunction with the nearby California (MINFILE 082FSW113) and White Bear (MINIFLE 082FSW114) past-producing mines.
During 2015 through 2017, Vangold Resources Ltd. completed programs of rock and soil sampling and geological mapping on the area.
