The Mountain Meadow Mo (North) showing is located on Meadow Mountain, approximately 15 kilometres northeast of Burton. Good access is available on gravel roads to the western edge of the property.

The showing (Assessment Report 7829) is a set of quartz veins, ranging from 1 to 5 centimetres in thickness, carrying coarse molybdenite rosettes and fine grained pyrite clusters. The hostrocks are porphyritic diorites probably of Jurassic age, which intrude east trending, steeply dipping clastic sedimentary and mafic volcanic rocks of the Triassic Slocan Group.

During 1979 (Assessment Report 7829) the property was geologically mapped, prospected and 960 soil and silt geochemical samples collected and analysed for molybdenum, copper, zinc and lead.
