The CO copper-silver showing is 1 kilometre west-southwest of the summit of Mount Spearing and 11 kilometres northwest of Tulameen.

Andesite (greenstone) of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group is cut by small quartz stringers containing chalcopyrite. The rock is also slightly carbonatized and silicified.

A sample of altered andesite analysed 0.724 per cent copper, 13.7 grams per tonne silver and 0.075 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 13208, page 7).

In 2014, a float sample (53556) of pervasive quartz-muscovite-pyrite–altered granitic(?) rock with coarse disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite from a narrow gorge along Homesteader Creek, referred to as Dave’s Canyon and located approximately 2.5 kilometres north-northwest of the CO occurrence, assayed 5.89 per cent copper, 12.7 grams per tonne silver and 0.07 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 35095).
