The property is situated on Moore Head near the eastern point of Kunghit Island.

The showings, discovered in 1910, were owned in 1913 by J. Uniaka. Work included a 15-metre open cut across the fracture at the south end of the claim.

A mineralized zone, 450 by 45 metres, occurs along a north striking fractured contact between basalt and limestone of the Vancouver Group, Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation. Bornite is disseminated within the calcite, cementing the volcanic and sediment brecciated fragments.

A post tectonic pluton occurs south of the showing. This intrusive is part of the Tertiary Kano Plutonic Suite.
