The Avon showing is on the northwest flanks of Treasure Mountain on a ridge above the South Kleanza Creek Valley, approximately 35 kilometres east of Terrace, B.C.

Triassic age limestone and andesite of the Jurassic Hazelton Group are intruded by a granodiorite stock of the Cretaceous to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex. A wide band of limestone, striking north and dipping 45 degrees east is altered and silicified into a green banded skarn containing garnet, epidote, quartz and calcite. The rock is cut by several north striking, vertical faults resulting in brecciated zones up to 2 metres wide.

A zone is sparsely mineralized with chalcopyrite, pyrite, bornite and chalcocite. A 61 centimetre channel sample across the zone assayed 2.1 grams per tonne gold and 1.4 grams per tonne silver and a 25 centimetre sample of a nearby quartz vein with chalcopyrite assayed 0.04 per cent copper (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 212).

The Avon showing is within the Treasure Mountain property explored extensively by Trade Winds Ventures Inc. from 2005 to 2011 and by Decade Resources Ltd. commencing in 2017.
