The Lee showing is 500 metres east of Highway 5 and 800 metres northeast of the confluence of Allison and Summers creeks.

The showing consists of a zone with occasional to rare blebs and disseminations of chalcopyrite in a capping of metasediments of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group, resting on Nicola Group volcanics. Regional mapping suggest the area is instead underlain by clastic sediments of the Eocene Princeton Group (Bulletin 69, Figure 1). The metasediments are extensively chloritized in this zone of sulphide mineralization. Epidote and carbonate are also present. The showing exhibits light to moderate malachite staining. A grab sample assayed 0.21 per cent copper, 0.017 per cent zinc and 7.99 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 8735, page 7).

The showing was prospected by Tricor Resources Ltd. in 1980.
