The East Targ showing is located approximately eight kilometres southwest of the confluence of the Sheslay and Samotua Rivers, roughly 10 kilometres east of Tatsamene Lake.

The East Targ showing area is underlain by Upper Paleozoic Stikine Assemblage volcanics and limestones intruded by Triassic granodioritic or quartz dioritic stocks. A small Paleocene to Eocene pluton, related to the Sloko-Hyder Plutonic Suite, consisting of high level quartz phyric, felsitic rock intrudes granodiorite in the area of the East Targ showing.

Wide spread disseminated and stockwork porphyry copper-molybdenum mineralization occurs in zones of feldspar-silica alteration within diorite and granodiorite at the Bing prospect (104K 035) located about 1 kilometre to the southeast. Skarn mineralization occurs in calcsilicates that yielded significant values copper, molydenum and zinc occurs at the Bing Skarn showing (104K 166), about 800 metres northeast of the East Targ showing. Hostrocks are described as quartz flooded volcanic breccia and/or sedimentary rock with up to 5 per cent copper mineralization.

At the East Targ showing, 11 rock samples collected by Brixton Metals Corp. in 2020 assayed from 1.2 to 5.2 per cent copper (Figure 7, Press Release, Brixton Metals Corp., Dec.15, 2020). No descriptions were given.
