The Toby 1 showing is located about 16 kilometres southeast of Port Alberni, between Museum and Corrigan creeks.

The area is underlain by Upper Triassic Karmutsen basalts of the Vancouver Group intruded by Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite diorites.

Locally, narrow pyritic quartz veins occur along a shear zone cutting the diorite intrusive. Ankerite alteration is associated with this zone. Gold and silver values from these quartz veins are reported to be high. One sample ran 6.95 grams per tonne gold and 99.5 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 15957).

In 2009, P. Saulnier completed a prospecting program on the Corigan claim. A lone sample, from the area of the Toby 1 occurrence, assayed 1680 parts per million copper (Assessment Report 30528).
