The Eagle Ridge showing is located at the eastern end of Eagle Ridge, near the confluence of North Kwoiek Creek with Kwoiek Creek and 3.25 kilometres south-southwest of Klowa Mountain.
The claim was first staked when talc exposures were identified in roadcuts adjacent to North Kwoiek Creek. The exploration work carried out by Ismay Associates Inc. is the first known on the property. The claim was staked on the basis of its potential for an economic talc deposit.
Regionally, the Eagle Ridge showing is underlain by lower greenschist facies metamorphosed phyllite and schist of the Paleozoic and/or Mesozoic Bridge River Complex. Granodiorite of the Late Cretaceous Scuzzy pluton occurs to the immediate east of the showing.
The main rock types at the Eagle Ridge showing is medium to dark green-grey phyllite, which strikes southeast and dips near vertical to the southwest. The phyllite hosts talc discovered on the claim. The talc is platy, light to dark greyish green and weathers buff to brown. Serpentinite is associated with the talc mineralization. The talc zones are very narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to 5 metres width .
In 1992, three grab samples were taken and submitted for XRD analysis of talc, tremolite, serpentine and chlorite. The results, in per cent, are given below (Assessment Report 22632):

The initial prospecting on the property has not identified any significant zones of talc mineralization. The zones discovered to date are very narrow and are exposed along a roadcut.
