The VENUS showing is located approximately 30 kilometres east- southeast of Kelowna.

Work on the property, consisting of geological and radiometric surveys and diamond drilling, was carried out in 1975 by Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation (Japan) for Nissho-Iwai Canada Ltd. Most of the drillholes were drilled approximately 1.5 kilometres northeast of the showing.

The showing is underlain by hornblende-biotite granodiorite orthogneiss of the Upper Proterozoic Shuswap Metamorphic Complex. Loosely consolidated conglomerate outcrops at the southwestern end of a northeast trending structurally-controlled paleovalley. Several drillholes northeast of the outcrop encountered low sporadic radioactivity in the conglomerates beneath the plateau basalt of the Miocene Chilcotin Group. The maximum radioactivity measured in the 12 drillholes was 270 counts-per-second (DDH-55) using a Geiger GP-27 gamma-ray probe (Assessment Report 5582, Table 8-6-4). Background radiation was 50 counts-per-second.
