The Ebor showing lies about 2.5 kilometres north of Boswell on the east shore of Kootenay Lake, just south of the mouth of Holiday Creek. Opencuts near the lakeshore expose a small, well defined quartz fissure vein cutting quartzose schists of the Upper Proterozoic Horsethief Creek Group, which strike northerly and dip to the west. The strike of the vein is easterly and it dips steeply to the north. Mineralization consists of stringers and small masses of galena and pyrite, with small amounts of sphalerite. Samples representing small amounts of the mineralization are reported to yield good assays in silver and lead.
