The Win showing is located directly south of Lawier Lake, approximately 900 metres north east of the northern end of Boot Lake.

The area is underlain by Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation amygdaloidal basalts and andesites.

Dark green amygdaloidal basalts or andesites are exposed within an open cut 15 metres long. The exposure is permeated by fine veinlets of calcite and epidote and shows evidence of silicification. Mineralization, which includes chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite, azurite and malachite is disseminated and distributed erratically within silicified fractures and amygdules.

In 1971, Almaza Minerals completed a program of geological mapping, soil sampling and a ground magnetometer survey on the area as the Win, Zap and Lark claims.
