The Beverley showing is located 6 kilometres north-northwest of Vernon, between Swan and Okanagan lakes.
In this area, west of the Okanagan Valley fault zone, volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Devonian to Triassic Harper Ranch Group are unconformably overlain by Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Nicola Group sedimentary and volcanic rocks. These units are intruded by Middle Jurassic granitic rocks. Patches of Eocene Penticton Group volcanic rocks overlie the older rocks.
A network of quartz veins within volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Nicola host gold, lead, silver and copper mineralization. The generally concordant veins carry pyrite, galena, and occasional chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite. The veins are persistent in width, range from 0.3 to 9 metres thick, and are traceable for 250 metres in length. The values are generally low, but values up to 27 grams per tonne gold, 1100 grams per tonne silver and 31 per cent lead have been reported (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1934, page D32).
By 1934, exploration included trenches, open cuts and shallow shafts.
