The Dot showing is 0.5 kilometre west of Summers Creek and 4.2 kilometres north-northeast of the creek's confluence with Allison Creek.

The showing is hosted in a section of grit of the Eocene Princeton Group, unconformably overlying andesitic volcanics of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group. The grit occasionally contains pyrite, which is mostly altered to limonite and hematite. One percussion hole analysed 0.020 gram per tonne gold, 14.8 grams per tonne silver and 0.0119 per cent copper over 3.05 metres (Assessment Report 10521, page 6, hole PDH-4, 36.6-39.6 metres).

Anaconda Canada Exploration Ltd. drilled 7 percussion holes totalling 637.5 metres in 1981, after outlining coincident geochemical and induced polarization anomalies in 1970 and 1971.
