The SPN occurrence is located north of Cahilty Creek at an elevation of 1680 metres and approximately 2.5 kilometres southeast of Mount Leslie.

Regionally, the area is underlain by mudstone, siltstone and other fine clastic sedimentary rocks of the Mississippian Slate Creek unit of the Eagle Bay Assemblage. These are intruded by Cretaceous granodioritic rocks to the northeast, whereas volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Nicola Group are exposed to the west.

Locally, siltstone, mudstone and other fine clastic sedimentary rocks host quartz veins with seams and blebs of sphalerite, lesser pyrite and trace galena.

In 2008, rock samples MKSPN08-03 to MKSPN08-06 assayed from 0.223 to greater than 1.0 per cent zinc, whereas another rock sample (MKSPN08-19), taken approximately 3.5 kilometres to the northwest, assayed 22.3 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 31332).

In 1985, Canadian Nickel Co. Ltd. completed a program of geological mapping and rock, silt and soil sampling on the area as the CC 1-2 claims. In 2007 and 2008, Bitterroot Resources Ltd. completed programs of rock, silt and soil sampling and a 308.0 line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey on the area as the SPN claims.
