The property is located 3.2 kilometres north of Cumshewa Inlet.

The area is underlain by Middle Jurassic Yakoun Group rocks consisting of porphyritic andesite agglomerate, tuffs and volcanic sediments that are cut by mafic and felsic dikes. The strata dip gently to the north.

Stibnite and possibly pyrite and arsenopyrite are disseminated within rhyolite, dacite, and andesite. A trench sample assayed 5.24 per cent antimony and 5.14 grams per tonne gold over 6.1 metres (Assessment Report 9306).

This showing was discovered by Efrem Specogna in 1972. The property was optioned by Umex Corp. in 1974 and Chevron Minerals in 1975. Work by these companies included soil and rock sampling and geological mapping. Thunderwood Explorations conducted soil sampling, ground VLF surveys and airborn magnetometer surveys in 1980. The showing was restaked by Cominco Ltd. in 1986. By the end of 1987 the company had completed line cutting, an induced polarization survey (28 kilometres), soil sampling and geological mapping over the showing and surrounding area. Cominco continued work in 1995 with the flying of an airborn electromagnetic and magnetometer survey over the region totaling 228 line kilometres.
