At the Humbird-Creek showing a vein of galena-freibergite- sphalerite-chalcopyrite-pyrite mineralization with quartz gangue occurs in a complexly folded Ordovician-Devonian talc-sericite schist on the north bank of Windy Creek. Much of the zone is concealed by overburden, but it is exposed in a small cut bank or creek gulley, where it appears to strike north and dip steeply to the west. The zone is about 3 metres in width. The host rock is strongly silici- fied. A grab sample from this area assayed 63.09 grams per tonne silver, 5.74 per cent zinc, 1.18 per cent lead, and 0.09 per cent copper.
