The Happy John 2 showing is located on the southern slopes of Hecate Mountain, approximately 700 metres north of the creek mouth of Handy Creek.

The area is underlain by rocks of the Upper Triassic Vancouver Group, comprising Karmutsen Formation volcanics and Quatsino Formation sediments, and by Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group volcanics. At the showings, these sheared and fractured rocks comprise limestone, argillite, andesite and a hornblende-granodiorite plug.

There are several mineral occurrences in the area; these occur in skarns, in areas of shearing and in areas of silicification. The geology and mineralization is very similar to that of the Monitor mine and may actually be the extension of the Monitor zones. One zone on this property, if extended along strike, would intersect near the Hedley orebody and, if projected to the shore of the canal, would terminate near the portal of the main adit on the Leonard orebody.

On the Happy John #2 claim a gossan or iron capping can be traced in a south east direction for 122 metres. Mineralization at the workings, a 12 metre adit and an 8 metre shaft, consists of chalcopyrite, magnetite, pyrrhotite and pyrite in garnetite gangue. The mineralization occurs at the limestone-volcanic contact.

In 1986, Chelan Resources completed a program of geochemical sampling, geological mapping and ground geophysical surveys on the area as the Liquid Sunshine project. Samples (LSN 31 to LSN 33) from the vicinity of the shaft assayed 1.6 per cent copper, 4.1 grams per tonne silver and 0.56 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 15199). Previously reported samples assayed up to 7.2 per cent copper and 20.6 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 15199).

In 1989, Chelan Resources and Nitro Resources completed a program of prospecting.

In 2007 through 2013, Nahminto Resources completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical sampling, a ground magnetometer survey and airborne geophysical surveys on the area as the TJM claims, part of the Nahmint property.
