The ELLSWORTH showing is located on St. John Ridge, approximately 13.5 kilometres to the west-southwest of Christian Valley.

The showing consists of a quartz vein hosted by limestone and quartzite of the Carboniferous-Permian Anarchist Group.

Mineralization includes pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite in a gangue of quartz-epidote-calcite. The vein is reported to be wide; no dimensions are given. It strikes 190 degrees and dips to the west; no dip angle is given. Early reports refer to a massive body of arsenical iron pyrite containing gold and silver values and underlain by iron-stained barren quartz. An average sample in 1901 assayed 50 cents (about 0.75 gram) gold and 102 grams per tonne silver (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1901, page 1142). Presumably, the massive sulphide body was exhausted because later reports do not mention it.

In 1970, DeKalb Mining Corporation carried out an exploration program over a large number of claims in this general area. This work included a soil geochemical survey over the BEV claims, which covered the ELLSWORTH showing. They identified several copper-zinc anomalies in soils. No reference is made to old workings in the report on their program.

In 1984, Talisman Silver Mines Ltd. carried out a soil survey over the ELLSWORTH showing. They located several old pits and trenches, and weak anomalies were identified for copper, lead, zinc, and silver.

During 2007 through 2009, Intigold Gold Mines Ltd. completed programs of rock and soil sampling and am airborne geophysical survey on the area as the Beaverdell property.
