The Blake adit is located on the western side of Doctor Creek, approximately 24.5 kilometres southwest of Canal Flats. The adit is described as being 15 metres long and driven along mineralization. In 1996-1997, the showing was staked under the Fat Cat claims by Alcuda Capital Inc. and a program of geochemical sampling and geological mapping was completed.

Regionally, the property is underlain by quartz monzonite of the White Creek batholith and sediments of the Proterozoic Aldridge Formation. The Aldridge Formation grades upward over 300 metres through a sequence of carbonaceous mudstone with minor beds of grey and green mudstone and fine-grained quartz wacke.

Locally, there is a 10 to 15 metre thick unit, recognized as the Lower–Middle Aldridge contact.

The Blake adit is hosted in quartzites of the Lower Aldridge formation and consists of banded, sub-parallel silver- lead– enriched quartz veining. In 1996, a 1.0 metre chip sample returned values of 121 grams per tonne silver, 2.22 per cent lead and 0.67 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 25524).
