The Johnsons Landing showing is located on the east shore of Kootenay Lake in the Slocan Mining Division. The property is situated on Mr. S.G. Lake's farm just north of Johnsons Landing.
Regionally, the area lies within the Kootenay Arc near the margins of the Ancestral North American Terrane. The Kootenay Arc is a curving belt of highly deformed metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks which includes the Upper Proterozoic Horsethief Creek Group, the Eocambrian Hamill Group, the Lower Cambrian Badshot Formation, and the lower Paleozoic Lardeau Group. The volcano-sedimentary sequence is intruded by numerous Ordovician, Devonian and Mississippian granitoid plutons. The rocks have undergone regional metamorphism to middle or upper greenschist facies (Paper 1993-1).
The property is underlain by quartzite of the Lower Cambrian Hamill Group and marble of the Badshot Formation. No geological description of the showing is available but a chip sample taken across a 3.6 metres wide section of leached mineralization at the end of the drift assayed 1.8 per cent lead and 0.8 per cent zinc (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1967).
