The Upper Franklin showings are located in the area of the Upper Franklin River, 15 kilometres southeast of Port Alberni.

The area is underlain by andesite, pillowed and massive basaltic flows and breccias of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation, Vancouver Group.

Locally, chalcopyrite and malachite occur in quartz stringers and epidotized shears within andesite of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group).

One zone, up to 0.6 metres wide, assayed 1.74 per cent copper from a grab sample. Another zone, 1.5 to 1.8 metres wide, assayed 2.75 per cent copper from a grab sample (Laanela, 1966). These showings are about 600 metres apart. In 2006, L. Stephenson prospected the showing as apart of the HV 1-10 claims.
