The Tower East (North Memekay) occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 660 metres on a high plateau, approximately 5 kilometres south-southeast of the junction of the White and Salmon rivers.

The area is underlain by volcanic basalts of the Triassic Karmutsen Formation and sedimentary rocks of the Triassic Parson Bay Formation. These have been intruded by Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite granodiorites.

Locally, narrow (0.1 to 0.5 metre thick) quartz-calcite-epidote-chlorite-sulphide veins, stockworks and/or breccias are hosted by altered mafic volcanics. The veins strike 025 degrees and dip nearly vertically. Mineralization consists of bornite, chalcopyrite, pyrite and magnetite.

In 2010, four select outcrop grab samples yielded up to 5.05 per cent copper, 0.076 per cent zinc, 13.1 grams per tonne silver and 0.028 gram per tonne gold (sample 8961; Assessment Report 31811).

In 2005 and early 2006, Minland Resources Ltd. completed a single diamond drill hole on the property. In 2008, Mr. David McLelland of Auracle Geospatial Science Ltd. completed a spectral analysis study of the property. In 2010, an exploration program consisting of soil, moss and rock geochemical sampling, geological mapping and prospecting was completed. In 2011, Compliance Energy completed a program of airborne electromagnetic, magnetic and scintillometer geophysical surveys on the area.
