The Joe S showing is a part of LED claim group and is located on the eastern shore of Adams Lake, approximately 3.5 kilometres northwest of McLeod Point. The area has been explored since the early 1900‘s with a historic adit of unknown age occurring adjacent to the showing. See the Beca (MINFILE 082M 055) occurrence for more information.

Regionally, the area lies within the Mississippian to lower Cambrian Age Eagle Bay Assemblage that is a belt approximately 100 kilometres long by 25 kilometres wide. Within the Eagle Bay Assemblage, a Devonian Age formation of volcanic rocks ranging from andesites to rhyolites interbedded with sedimentary rocks starts in the North Barrier Lakes area, continues southeastward down the Squaam Bay valley, crosses Adams Lake and continues through the LED claims to beyond Nikwikwai Creek. This formation has been altered to phyllites and chloritesericite- quartz schist plus numerous other schists of variable composition during green schist facies metamorphism and two major phases of folding.

Locally, massive sulphide mineralization forms a stratabound horizon on the south side of andesite volcanics of the Eagle Bay Assemblage. These are often banded, tuffaceous, with thin quartz veins subparalleling the schitosity as well as containing disseminated pyrite.

Drilling on the Joe S sulphide zone has returned over 3 metres containing 30 to 70 per cent pyrrhotite, 2 per cent chalcopyrite and 3 per cent sphalerite in DDH 79-1 and 1.6 metres of 40 per cent pyrrhotite and 2 per cent chalcopyrite in DDH 79-2.

Sampling of the massive sulphides during 2008, averaged 1.39 per cent copper over a true width of 1.8 metres. One of the samples S19, across 0.5 metres of massive banded sulphides, returned 68.2 grams per tonne silver, 1.75 per cent copper, 6.52 per cent lead and 2.57 per cent zinc. During the same year, dump samples assayed returned up to 159.4 grams per tonne silver, 0.62 per cent copper, 14.40 per cent lead and 2.95 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 30602).
