The Wiley showing consists of several shear structures within a Lower Permian limestone skarn of the Stikine Assemblage, immediately north of a Triassic granodiorite body. These shear zones are generally less than 30 centimetres wide and less than 10 metres long. They are characterized by quartz-carbonate veinlets with up to 2 per cent pyrite within hematite stained gossans. A 1989 grab sample (459114) of a malachite and azurite stained sulphide vein assayed 3.22 grams per tonne gold, with values of 44.0 grams per tonne silver, 0.725 per cent copper, 0.012 per cent lead, 0.27 per cent zinc, and 0.22 per cent ppm arsenic (Assessment Report 19783, 21061). This vein, which contains 60 per cent pyrite and 2 per cent chalcopyrite, is 16 centimetres wide and strikes roughly north for 5.0 metres. A 1990 sample of copper stained limestone float (32662) near this showing assayed 1.37 per cent zinc with anomalous cadmium, antimony, arsenic, and tungsten geochemical values (Assessment Report 21061).
