The East Side showing is situated approximately 1.5 kilometres up Kelly Creek from its convergence with Zymoetz River, 31 kilometres east of Terrace, B.C.

A small granodiorite stock intrudes red silicified andesites, grey-green andesites and red tuff of the Jurassic Hazelton Group. These rocks are intruded by rhyolitic porphyry dykes. The volcanics strike north-south and dip 70 degrees east.

The East Side showing, which lies 300 metres east of the Upper (Kelly Creek ) showing (103I 092), is mineralized with chalcopyrite and bornite within the red silicified andesites. A 4.7 metre channel sample assayed 0.70 per cent copper, 10.3 grams per tonne silver and trace gold (Assessment Report 2394).

In August and September 2014, on behalf of owner R. Billingsley, a structural analysis was completed on the Kelly claim group which covers the East Side showing. The purpose of the program was to delineate cross-structures which may be integral in geological controls to potentially economic mineral zones that may occur on the property (Assessment Report 35194).

In 2019, prospecting and geochemical work conducted on the Kelly Creek Property for R. Billingsley included sampling of sixteen rocks from the Kelly Creek prospect area, approximately 400 metres northwest of the East Side showing with limited anomalous results. Indications are that mineralization may extend westward for approximately 2 kilometres from the Kelly Creek/East Side showings to the Chicken showing (Minfile 103I 159) (Assessment Report 38949).
