The Morning Star is located on the north side of Springer Creek, a few metres above its junction with Dayton Creek. It may be reached by a 5-kilometre long road from Slocan City. The claim was originally staked in 1900 and the following year about 210 metres of development work was done.

The Morning Star occurrence is hosted by porphyritic potassium feldspar granite and hornblende-biotite diorite of the Middle Jurassic Nelson plutonic rocks, cut by numerous small felsic occasionally pegmatic dykes. The vein is mainly hosted by the diorite which is strongly silicified and locally kaolinized close to vein walls. The vein is a fracture to brittle shear filling of quartz with some siderite and calcite with disseminated to veinlets of sheared galena, sphalerite, and cubic pyrite with possibly some tetrahedrite. The vein is offset by numerous small faults and its southern end is terminated by a fault.

The workings consist of two adits. In the lower one the main vein has been traced for 116 metres and a branch vein near the south end has been followed for 37 metres. With the other lateral workings off from the main tunnel a total of about 180 metres of development work has been done on this level. The upper adit, 30-metres above, is about 30 metres long.

The claim has been held by record and throughout most of its history the work done on it has been confined to yearly assessment requirements. Most of the development work was done during the years 1901 and 1946.

OGG Mining and Investing Inc. held the property in 1914.
