The Malachite showing, discovered in 2018, is on a low ridge side east of Clore River, 3.5 kilometres south of Zymoetz River, approximately 39.5 kilometres southeast of Terrace, B.C.

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

Five grab samples (A18-12 to A18-16) collected from the Malachite zone assayed up to 0.74 per cent copper and 19.0 grams per tonne silver. Mineralization is restricted to a few places within a 130 metres long semi-continuous outcrop of feldspar porphyritic basalt exposed along a logging road (south border of Treasure Mountain property). Two float samples (A18-17 and A18-18) with similar mineralogy collected some 300 metres to the northwest from Malachite zone yielded 1.92 and 5.02 percent copper, and 82 and 122 gram per tonne silver (Assessment Report 37602).
