The Sam showing is located on the west side of Pitt Lake, across from Goose Island. The area is underlain by quartz diorite and horn- blende diorite of the Jurassic to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex. Migmatite occurs in the northeastern part of the property. Pyrite is common and occurs as fine disseminations along joints and fractures. Minor chalcopyrite and malachite were observed in a fault just east of the property.

Kerry Mining Ltd. collected 930 soil samples from the Sam 1 to 16 claims in 1973. The BB claims of Assessment Report 8873 cover much of the same area as the Sam claims but this work centred on the Standard prospect (092GSE008) and the Millie showing (092GSE017). The Sam showings, being "east" of the Sam property, were presumably closer to Pitt Lake and/or Defrauder Creek.
