The Providence showing is located on the north side of Zymoetz (Copper) River, approximately 15 kilometres east of Terrace, B.C.

The area is underlain by schist and altered and silicified limestone of Mississippian to Permian age. Quartz veins containing minor bornite and chalcopyrite occur in chloritic schist. A quartz vein in the limestone contains minor galena and tetrahedrite.

The Providence showing area was prospected and sampled by Decade Resources Ltd. during their 2019 exploration program in the eastern region of their Terrace Gold property. Four rock samples were collected in the area, one from a contact area between diorite and andesite that returned elevated Cu (321 ppm) and Zn (268 ppm) Assessment Report 38909).
