The Angel showing is located along the contact between quartz diorite of the Coast Plutonic Complex and volcanics of the Garibaldi Group on the Angel claims, 2.5 kilometres south of Pylon Peak and 1.5 kilometres north of Meager Creek.

The Angel showing is underlain by altered rhyodacite flows and tuffs of the Pliocene to Recent Garibaldi Group. The flows and tuffs dip 20 to 25 degrees east. In the lowermost part of this unit, rhyodacite contains small amounts of disseminated oxidized pyrite. Pyrite and chalcopyrite also occur in a narrow fracture zone in quartz diorite of the Jurassic to Cretaceous Coast Plutonic Complex.

A 0.25-metre chip sample was assayed for gold but failed to yield any anomalous values (Assessment Report 19331). In 1991, 34 soil samples were taken, which yielded up to 1 gram per tonne silver, 30 parts per billion gold and 30 parts per million copper (Assessment Report 21882).
