The Kay showing is located 60 kilometre east-southeast of the community of Kleena Kleene and about 140 kilometres west-southwest of the town of Williams Lake. The showing was found as a result of a 1994 field mapping program by the Geological Survey branch of the BC provincial government.

The Kay showing is underlain by volcanic rocks of the Lower Cretaceous Spences Bridge Group consisting of andesite and dacite flows and breccias; minor basalt and rhyolite; local sandstone, shale and conglomerate. Malachite and azurite occur in calcite veinlets within carbonate-altered volcanic breccia, originally described as mafic porphyry. This package is intruded by a small stock of feldspar porphyritic intrusive rock about 1 kilometre to the south of the Kay showing.

In 2003, Amarc Resources Limited conducted an induced polarization survey on the Rad Property.
