The Peak 2179 and Long occurrences are located on the south east facing slope of a peak referred to as “2179 Peak” in the headwaters of Kid Creel, north west of Mount Goldsmith. The Peak 2179 showing is located at an elevation of approximately 1800 metres, while the Long showing is located up slope to the south west at an elevation of approximately 1950 metres.

The area is underlain by chloritic schist or phyllites and limestones of the Cambrian to Devonian Index Formation (Lardeau Group).

At the Peak 2179 occurrence a “molar tooth” shaped zone of rusty iron-bearing siderite marble, interpreted as the hinge of a syncline, hosts coarse-grained to euhedral pods of pyrite and fine-grained galena. The zone pinches and swells from 0 to 10 metres in width. In 2012, two samples (PS121803 and PS121805) assayed 5.55 and 18.2 per cent lead with 101 and 127 grams per tonne silver, respectively (Assessment Report 34013).

The Long showing is hosted by rusty iron-bearing siderite marble with massive magnetite, up to 50 per cent of total rock composition, and minor pyrite. A sample (LS121901) assayed 0.113 per cent lead, 1 gram per tonne silver and 43.7 per cent iron (Assessment Report 34013).

The area has been historically explored in conjunction with the Big Showing (MINFILE 082KNW078), Mammoth (MINFILE 082KNW077) and Scout (MINFILE 082KNW139) occurrences. During 2005 through 2012, Silver Phoenix Resources completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, rock sampling and airborne geophysical surveys on the area.

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.
