The Soft rhodonite showing is situated on Red Bridge Creek, 500 metres northwest of the Ashnola River and 19 kilometres south-southeast of Hedley.

Three variably dipping veins of rhodonite occur in a 90 metre cliff adjacent to the creek, within green chert of the Ordovician to Triassic Apex Mountain Complex. The veins pinch and swell, varying between 0.15 and 0.6 metre in width. Steatite ("soapstone") is reported to be associated with the veins.

Up to 100 kilograms of rhodonite were removed by L. Faggetter between 1989 and 1991.

The Soft showing area was acquired by Ron Schneider sometime prior to 2010. The claims were then optioned to Velocity Minerals Inc. as part of their Ashnola claim group. Velocity Minerals carried out a prospecting and geological mapping program on the Ashnola claim group in 2010, including locating and sampling near the Prince (MINFILE 092HSE056), Kel (MINFILE 092HSE090), Woodgrain (MINFILE 092HSE188), TO (MINFILE 092HSE248) and Nova (MINFILE 092HSE249) showings covered by the claim group. One sample was collected immediately to the west of the Soft showing, on the south side of Red Bridge Creek.

In 2011, Grant Crooker expanded the Hedley Gold Project claim group to the north by amalgamating his claims with those owned by Ron Schneider. The expanded property was then optioned to Westcan Uranium Corporation. Three 1:10,000 scale base maps of the property were produced and rock geochemical sampling was carried out in the central and northern portions of the property.
