The LCP showing is located on Mount Mobley, approximately 14 kilometres northwest of the community of St. Ives on Shuswap Lake.

The area is underlain by meta-sedimentary and meta-volcanic rocks of the Devonian-Mississippian Eagle Bay assemblage, that are later intruded by un-dated intermediate to mafic dikes. A thin, northwest striking, argillite horizon transects the central portion of the property. This sediment unit separates the intensely silicified meta-volcanic rocks (quartz-mica schists) to the north from less altered meta-volcanic (or meta-sediment) rocks to the south.

Locally, mineralization is closely associated with the thin argillite horizon and typically occurs within the intensely silica altered meta-volcanic rocks immediately adjacent (stratigraphically below) this sediment horizon. Mineralization appears to parallel the foliation and represents either bedded or stockwork-type mineralization.

In 1989, the Ivor claims were staked by E. Olfert. Select samples of trenched subcrop returned values up to 10.15 per cent zinc and 0.72 per cent lead (Assessment Report 23458). Between 1991 and 1993, MineQuest Exploration Associates completed programs of geological mapping, prospecting and geochemical sampling.
