The Laurie showing is located 17.3 kilometres northwest of Lytton and 500 metres east of Highway 12, directly beneath the power transmission line.

The area is underlain by Triassic Mount Lytton Complex intrusives comprising dioritic rocks in gradational contact with mylonite, amphibolite and layered sequences of quartzofeldspathic rocks. These are intruded by andesite dykes and quartz diorite intrusions.

Tetrahedrite, azurite and minor chalcopyrite, pyrite and sphalerite occur in two highly fractured, brecciated, branching calcsilicate veins 3 to 100 centimetres wide. The vein occurs in a fractured, fine-grained, feldspathic dyke within siliceous chlorite schist. Alteration minerals include quartz, chlorite, sericite and talc. Three hundred and ten metres southeast, minor sphalerite occurs in a 6 centimetre wide quartz-calcite-ankerite vein in siliceous chlorite schist.

The showing was originally discovered in 1980, by Treasure Valley Exploration during a program of soil sampling and ground geophysics. The claims lapsed and were restaked and explored by Cromore Resources in the late 1980’s. In 2005 and 2007, the area was explored as part of the Pharoh and Spences Brigde projects, respectively.

A chip sample from the main vein assayed 1.03 per cent copper and 0.11 per cent zinc over 43 centimetres (Assessment Report 18806). A representative sample from an 18 tonne excavation pile on the Laurie claims returned 3.56 per cent copper, 78.0 grams per tonne silver, and 0.48 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 30100).
