The Ash 2 showing is situated southeast of Packers Creek, 2 kilometres northeast of the Tulameen River and 30 kilometres west-southwest of Princeton.

The showing is hosted in biotite gneiss (gneissic granodiorite) of the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Eagle Plutonic Complex. The complex is locally intruded by northeast-striking andesite and syenite dikes, 0.6 to 3.0 metres wide. The syenite dikes contain minor malachite and disseminated chalcopyrite.

Mineralization outcrops sporadically along the southeast bank of Packers Creek over a length of 500 metres. Most of the mineralization is contained in several large, irregular masses of milky white quartz and muscovite, up to 24 metres wide, that may have formed as late differentiates in the Eagle Plutonic Complex. These bodies are enclosed in kaolinite and/or chlorite-epidote alteration envelopes. They are irregularly mineralized with molybdenite and ferrimolybdenite, occurring as fine disseminations and along fractures in quartz. Minor disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite are developed in the surrounding gneiss. The molybdenite content of these bodies varies up to 3 per cent and is reported to average approximately 0.5 per cent (Assessment Report 5583, page 2).

In 1971, Hanna Mining completed a soil sampling program on the area as the Ash group. In 1975, a program of geological mapping was completed. In 1974 and 1976, Canadian Occidental Petroleum completed programs of rock, silt and soil sampling, geological mapping and a ground magnetic survey on the area as the Wel claims. In 1979, Canadian Natural Resources, on the behalf of Georgia Resources, completed a program of geological mapping, soil sampling and ground magnetic and induced polarization surveys on the area. In 2010, the area was prospected by L. Sookochoff.
