The Bisson Lake showing is located 40 kilometres southeast of Vernon, on the east side of Bisson Lake.

In 1967, geophysical surveys were completed on the Bisson Lake property. In 1971, a geophysical survey was conducted on the XL claims.

The area is underlain by granitic rocks of the Jurassic Nelson Intrusions.

The claims were originally staked when mineralization was encountered on a logging road. This mineralization is not located or described. The nature of this showing has been inferred from the geophysical response. The response indicates that copper and molybdenum comprise the original mineralization. The showing is noted on Geological Survey of Canada Open File 637 as a copper-molybdenum showing of unknown type.

No other information is available.
