The Shiner showing is situated approximately 4 kilometres west of the south end of Ecstall Lake, 65.8 kilometres southwest of Kitimat and 86.8 kilometres southeast of Prince Rupert.

The Shiner alpine gossan showing was first documented in 2019, being a detected anomaly in an airborne VTEM survey over Kingfisher Resources Ltd. Ecstall property. It is considered a significant zone of pyrite-chalcopyrite-sphalerite mineralization and hydrothermal alteration. Industry work in 2002 by Praxis Goldfields sampled rocks at the northern end of the Shiner Zone that were host to anomalous Zn concentrations up to 3413 parts per million (Assessment Report 27072). Regional mapping indicates that the area is underlain by undifferentiated metavolcanic and metasedimentary units, with undifferentiated Big Falls Pluton to the west and thin bands of felsic metavolcanics to the northwest (Alldrick, 2003).

The 2019 ground program consisted of prospecting and collection of 88 soil samples and 73 rock samples from the shiner zone. The highest Cu and Au assays are from sample S3441612 assaying 3.273 per cent Cu, 2.98 per cent Zn, 2.106 grams per tonne Au and 28.4 grams per tonne Ag within a zone of chalcopyrite-pyrite veining and intense silicification hosted by quartz-chlorite-biotite schist. The highest Zn, Pb and Ag assays came from S3441617 and returned 7.45 per cent Zn, 1.05 per cent Pb and 53.2 grams per tonne Ag hosted within quartz-chlorite-biotite schist. Rock sampling was focused on north-south trending area host to chlorite and sericite alteration, disseminated, semi-massive, and massive base metal mineralization and intense silicification that can be traced for at least 500 metres (Assessment Report 39155).
