The Butte property is located southeast of the Salmon River road 5.6 kilometres west of the International Boundary in southeastern Alaska.

Located in the Intermontane Belt, the area, bounded on the west by the Coast Crystalline Complex and on the east by the Bowser Basin, is part of the Stikinia Terrane.

The showing is hosted by the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group Unuk River Formation metavolcanics. The Hazelton Group is a northwest trending, steeply east dipping belt of folded andesitic lapilli tuffs, flows and breccia containing a thick sequence of argillite and siltstone infolded along a synclinal axis. The sequence is intruded by the Early Jurassic Texas Creek plutonic suite of dacitic porphyry dykes and sills, Eocene granitic Hyder intrusives and lamprophyre dykes.

There are several occurences on this property. One, at 107 metres elevation, occurs in a 7.6 metre shaft sunk on a quartz vein that is up to 1.0 metre wide. The vein strikes 148 degrees, dips 65 degrees east and has been traced southeast for 122 metres. Pyrite and galena occur as shoots in the quartz. One assay contained 14.1 per cent lead, 20.57 grams per tonne gold and 706.17 grams per tonne silver (United States Geological Survey Bulletin 807). Another assay was considerably lower.

Two adits were sunk on a quartz vein about 1.0 kilometre south- west of the shaft. This vein has been traced for about 600 metres. The vein trends southeast and is reported to contain rare grains of scheelite with variable quantities of unspecified sulphides (United States Geological Survey Bulletin 1024-F).
