The showing is located between sea level and 305 metres elevation on the east end of Talunkwan Island.

The Hawks Nest group of 5 claims was owned by Messrs. Hamming and Magee from about 1908. During 1909 the claims were surveyed and two adits driven. In 1911 the Blue Bell, Maud, Lilly, Anney Fraction, and Hawk's Nest Fraction (Lots 135-139, respectively) were Crown-granted to Elizabeth A.0. Hemming.

J.T. Shearer prospected and sampled the property in 1979 and 1980.

The claims are underlain by shattered, massive, chloritized amygdaloidal basalt of the Vancouver Group, Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation which has undergone low grade greenschist regional metamorphism. To the west, a quartz monzonite pluton occurs west of the north trending Louscoone Fault zone. The monzonitic pluton is related to the Eocene to Oligocene Kano Plutonic Suite. The volcanics are cut by diorite dikes and calcite-quartz-epidote veinlets.

Minor amounts of sphalerite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite occur disseminated in the volcanics and diorite dikes. A sample from a dike returned 2.0 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 8902).
