The Canadian showing is located on the east side of the Salmon Glacier, at approximately 390 metres elevation.

The area is underlain by 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 Early Jurassic Texas Creek dacitic porphyry dikes.

Locally, quartz veins and stockworks occur in argillite and siltstone that host chalcopyrite, sphalerite and malachite mineralization. The width of the vein and stockwork zone averages 2 to 4 metres and is exposed over a length of at least 60 metres on a very steep slope.

In 1991 and 1992, Westmin Resources and Homestake Canada completed a program of soil sampling, geological mapping and prospecting. Representative samples returned values up to 0.62 gram per tonne gold, 88 grams per tonne silver, 1.74 per cent copper, 1.74 per cent lead and 3.42 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 22705).

During 2004 through 2019, the area has been explored as part of the Silver Coin property and a complete property exploration history can be at the nearby Silver Coin (MINFILE 104B 150) occurrence.
