The Eye 41 showing is located about 30 kilometres northeast of Dease Lake.

The showing occurs in a fault-emplaced body of upper Mississippian to Permian serpentinized peridotite of the Cache Creek Complex. This body occurs within a sequence of chert, argillite, argillaceous quartzite, phyllite and greenstone of the Mississippian to Triassic Kedahda Formation (Cache Creek Complex).

Chrysotile asbestos, in fibres up to about 1.3 centimetres long, are reported in serpentine. An estimate of 2 to 3 per cent fibres was made from inspection of the mineralized outcrops.

Totem Minerals Ltd. conducted an airborne geophysical survey (magnetics and electromagnetics) over the area in 1959. In 1967, the Emile claims covered the area of interest and ground magnetic and geological surveys were conducted. Tournigan Mining and Exploration Ltd. with American Smelting and Refining Co. conducted further geological and ground magnetic surveys in 1971.
