The Annie claims are located 13 kilometres northwest of Nakusp, on the west side of Upper Arrow Lake. Access is by logging road.

The showing consists of an 80-centimetre wide quartz vein carrying pyrite, galena and a trace of chalcopyrite along the margins of the vein. The vein strikes 148 degrees, dipping 50 to 60 degrees southwest. A selected high-grade sample assayed 0.2 gram per tonne gold, 663 grams per tonne silver and 0.9 per cent lead (Assessment Report 21806).

The vein crosscuts a quartz sericite schist horizon which is interlayered with graphitic schists and argillites of the Triassic Slocan Group. The strata have undergone regional metamorphism which has reached the amphibolite grade. Disseminated pyrrhotite, pyrite and irregular quartz veining are common in both the graphitic and in the quartz sericite schist horizons. The strata strike approximately 320 degrees, dipping moderately northeast.

The showing was discovered and staked in 1991. Twenty-five hectares were geologically mapped and prospected, 24 soil geochemical samples were collected and analysed for silver and zinc, and one rock chip sample assayed.
