The Range occurrence is located near the top of a ridge crest about 7 kilometres north of Uslika Lake and approximately 52 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

At the showing, massive basalt of the Permian Lay Range assemblage is sheared, locally altered to epidote and chlorite, and silicified. Malachite staining and about 1 per cent pyrite occur in the rocks. The style of mineralization is reported as a shear-controlled vein. In 1991, a sample assayed 1.3 grams per tonne gold and 0.72 per cent copper (Open File 1992-11, Sheet 2, Map Number 17).
