The Irish 2 showing is located 15 kilometres northwest of Vernon, between Equesis Creek and Highway 97.

The area is underlain by volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Nicola Group. These comprise andesite and shale which have been intruded by Tertiary monzonite dikes and plugs.

Quartz veins occur in carbonate altered, fuchsitic andesites and strongly sheared shales. The veins contain pyrite and sporadic gold values over narrow widths. The andesite also contains wispy black carbon. In the shales, the generally narrow veins pinch and swell and are highly irregular. The veins in the andesites are larger and occur as stockworks.

A sample (CS-163) from trench 87-27 assayed 3.2 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 17167). The highest value from sampling in 1988 was 1.55 grams per tonne gold over 1 metre (Assessment Report 18717, sample EQW011). The sample contained quartz fragments in a highly deformed matrix of shale and andesite. Quartz veining is believed to have preferentially occurred at the intersection of two structures.

In 1983, Minequest Exploration performed stream sediment sampling, soil sampling, prospecting, rock chip sampling and heavy mineral sampling. In 1984, prospecting and geological mapping was conducted on the claims. In 1987-88, soil sampling, trenching and geophysics were completed.
