The Scout showings are located on the northwest slope of Mount Goldsmith (Goat Mountain) from 1768 to 1829 metres elevation, east of Incomappleux River and 10 kilometres northeast of Camborne.

Underlying rocks are chloritic schist or phyllites and limestones of the Cambrian to Devonian Lardeau Group (Index Formation). A highly silicified and sideritic zone, 5 to 8 metres wide and 90 metres long, conforms with bedding, which strikes 330 degrees and dips 45 degrees east. The silicified zone, which is associated with a fault that cuts the carbonates, contains patches and disseminations of pyrite, galena and sphalerite. Ore shoots of massive galena up to 1.5 metres wide and 7.6 metres long with maximum depths of 4.6 metres were investigated with 76 metres of adit and crosscuts.

A 1.5-metre sample assayed 89 grams per tonne silver and 0.7 gram per tonne gold (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1914, page 269). A sample of galena assayed 2002 grams per tonne silver, 3.4 grams per tonne gold, 56.8 per cent lead and 2 per cent zinc (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1919, page 142).

In 1980, a sample assayed 483 grams per tonne silver, 3.2 grams per tonne gold, 19.6 per cent lead and 0.27 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 7996).

The showing was discovered and held by George Goldsmith in the early 1900s. Work prior to 1941 included trenching, an upper 56-metre adit and shorter lower adit. The property was acquired in the early 1980s by P.F. Explorations Ltd. and subsequently optioned to Summer 90 Resources Ltd. New Campbell Island Mines Limited optioned the property, including the Mammoth (082KNW077) and the Big Showing (082KNW078), from Summer 90 Resources Ltd. in 1984. Subsequent work by H.A. Simmons (International) Ltd. and W.J. Olsson and Associates Ltd. included geological mapping and geochemical soil and rock sampling. In 1988 and 1989, Consolidated Trout Lake Mines completed programs of geochemical sampling and airborne geophysical surveys on the area as apart of the Lexington Creek property. During 2005 through 2012, Silver Phoenix Resources completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, rock sampling and airborne geophysical surveys on the area.

In 2005, varied grab and chip sampling by James Turner gave results ranging 0.002 to 0.553 of percent copper, 0.17 to 5.32 percent lead, 0.59 to 34.55 percent zinc, 16 to 396 grams per tonne silver, and 0.01 to 5.76 grams per tonne of gold (Turner, J. (2007-12-01): NI 43-101 and Assessment Report on the Mammoth, Scout, and the BIG Showing Property).

In 2006, and 2007, assessment work was completed on the property by Discovery Consultants, R. I. Thompson for Silver Phoenix Resources Inc. including mapping and sampling the area.
