The H showing is located on a sample grid on the H14 claim on the ridge east of the Fraser River, 22 kilometres northwest of Boston Bar. The exact location is uncertain from the description and map provided (Assessment Report 4985).

The claims cover a 900 metre wide serpentinized ultramafic body which trends northwest; a band of phyllite is preserved within the ultramafic body. THe ultramafics and metasediments are part of the Permian(?) to Lower Cretaceous Bridge River Complex (Group). The ultramafic rock is dark green to black and weathers buff to reddish brown. The rock is a fine-grained, massive serpentine with minor carbonate and 5 per cent magnetite.

Magnetite occurs with pentlandite, heazlewoodite and possibly millerite, as disseminations and veinlets and rims chromite. Nine sample assays averaged 0.19 per cent nickel (Assessment Report 4508).
