The Hiberian showing is located at the headwaters of the Klehini River. Mineralized skarn occurs adjacent to a contact between Devonian Upper Triassic(?) limestone and overlying argillites. The mineralized zone trends 050 degrees and plunges 45 degrees northwest. Mineralization consists of pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena in garnet-actinolite-quartz-calcite skarn. Mineralization is exposed over a width of 3 metres in an opencut.

A sample assayed 44.57 grams per tonne silver with trace gold and trace copper (Annual Report 1914, page 96).
