The Cor 6 showing is located 5 kilometres east of Alberni Inlet, just southeast of the Cor 14 showing (092F 389) and 16 kilometres south of Port Alberni.
The area is underlain by Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group) volcanics which are intruded by biotite- granodiorite of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite. The volcanics consist of greenstones, andesites and basalts. Quartz- carbonate veins, carrying minor pyrite and chalcopyrite, cut both rock types (volcanics and intrusives) but are more common in the andesite.
An adit at the 400 metre elevation follows a quartz-carbonate vein striking 055 degrees and dipping 040 degrees southeast within greenstone. The vein which extends for about 200 metres and is up to 1 metre wide, contains disseminated pyrite, galena and minor chalcopyrite. The best assay for gold was 2 grams per tonne and for copper, 0.20 per cent (Assessment Report 6676).
A similar vein occurrence lies about 200 metres to the east. An assay of du_mp material from an old adit assayed 0.51 per cent copper (Assessment Report 6676). A further 200 metres to the east, a lens of massive pyrite and chalcopyrite in greenstone measures about 1 metre long and 10 centimetres thick. A sample assayed 2.80 per cent copper (Assessment Report 6676).
These showings are likely the ones worked on in 1890 and known as the Star of the West (see 092F 215).
