The Pogo (Cow 15) showing is located on the ridge separating Chipman Creek to the north and the Chemainus River the south. The showing has been explored as apart of the Cow property and related occurrences.

The area is underlain by Mississippian to Pennsylvanian Fourth Lake Formation (Buttle Lake Group) cherty argillite and by Upper Devonian McLauglin Ridge Formation (Sicker Group) volcani- clastics. These rocks are intruded by granodiorite and quartz diorite of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite and Triassic gabbro (informally called the Mount Hall gabbro). Sulphide mineralization occurs in rusty shear zones as disseminations, and/or stringers along bedding, cleavage or crosscutting fractures. Mineralization is hosted in laminated sediments and volcaniclastics spatially associated with the gabbroic dykes. Pyrite and minor chalcopyrite are finely disseminated throughout the rocks.

The Pogo showing, near the centre of the Cow property on the Cow 15 claim, consists of pyrrhotite, pyrite (up to 5 per cent), chalcopyrite (less than 1 per cent), sphalerite and galena. Spahlerite and galena have not been confirmed for the Pogo showing and if present would be rare. Mineralization occurs disseminated, along fracture planes and in quartz-carbonate stringers (up to 2 centimetres wide) in a fractured-medium grained gabbroic dyke which intrudes black cherty argillites of the Fourth Lake Formation (previously known as the "Sediment-Sill Unit" of the Paleozoic Sicker Group). Mineralization occurs at a synclinal fold axis where the sill is "pinched" as it crosses from the west limb to the east limb.

In 1964, E.M. Wilson staked the original Pogo 1-4 claims and completed a program geological mapping, prospecting and geochemical sampling. From 1985 through 1987, JBL Resources completed programs of geological mapping, prospecting, geochemical sampling, ground geophysical surveys and 2 diamond drill holes, totalling 99.5 metres, on the area as the Cow 12-16 claims, specifically the Cow 15 claim. In 1985, the best assays of 29 rock samples yielded 0.42 per cent zinc over 3 metres, 0.48 per cent lead, 0.09 per cent copper and trace silver from different 1.5 metre samples (Assessment Report 14462).
