The Skaist River showing is 400 metres north of the Skaist River, 3.4 kilometres west of the summit of Skaist Mountain and 32.5 kilometres southwest of Princeton.

The showing consists of a sheared quartz vein, 15 to 30 centimetres wide and 1.5 metres long, in Cretaceous Spences Bridge Group tuffs, tuffaceous siltstones, wacke and argillite, near the southeast contact of the Late Cretaceous Skaist River stock (hornblende biotite diorite). The vein contains massive to banded to disseminated pyrite and trace chalcopyrite. The volcaniclastics are pervasively hornfelsed and pyritized along strike to the southwest. A weak gossanous zone extends along strike to the northeast.
