The Ebring showing is located 1 kilometre southeast of the centre of Vernon.

In this area, east of the Okanagan Valley fault, sedimentary rocks of the Devonian to Triassic Harper Ranch Group are in probable unconformable contact with Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Nicola Group sedimentary and volcanic rocks. These rocks are faulted over metamorphic rocks. Outliers of Eocene Penticton Group volcanic rocks are present. Much of the valley floor is covered by thick Quaternary sediments.

Quaternary glaciolacustrine beds host a 1 metre thick clay deposit quarried for industrial use. Light grey, calcareous silty clay, somewhat suitable for common brick and tile manufacture, was mined pre-1930.
