The Keeler showing is on a ridge top between the lower west flowing Zymoetz River and its upper south flowing reach, 3.5 kilometres southeast of Treasure Mountain peak, approximately 38 kilometres east of Terrace, B.C.

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

Chalcocite and lesser bornite, native copper, azurite and malachite occur as veinlets and disseminations within a 40 degree east dipping feldspar porphyry flow of the Jurassic Hazelton Group. The mineralization occurs discontinuously over 180 metres in a northwest direction. Sampling of a trench assayed 1.55 per cent copper and 12.34 grams per tonne silver over 10.7 metres (Property File - Bell, 1963).

The Keeler 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. In 2011, Trade Winds Ventures Inc. contracted Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp. to fly an electromagnetic and magnetic airborne geophysical survey over the Treasure Mountain property, including the Keeler showing.
