The Wells showing is located in the upper headwater region of Mattock Creek, 1 kilometre northeast of Treasure Mountain peak, approximately 37.5 kilometres east of Terrace, B.C.

The Wells showing is within a greater than 14 kilometre north trending zone of copper+/-silver mineralization extending from Clore River valley to Kleanza River valley.

Mineralization consisting of bornite, chalcocite and cuprite occurs in three shear zones cutting andesitic volcanic rocks of the Jurassic Hazelton Group. The variably oriented shear zones are up to 1.2 metres wide and contain stringers of quartz, calcite and epidote, up to 20 centimetres wide.

A 1.2 metre sample from an adit assayed 9.5 per cent copper, 79 grams per tonne silver and trace gold (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1917). A sample of another shear zone assayed 4.2 per cent copper and 103 grams per tonne silver over 3 metres (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1917).

The Wells 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.
