The SH 1-15 showing is located about 13 kilometres northeast of Lumby.

There is no assessment work recorded but it is reported that trenching and stripping were done in 1972 on the AS claims and trenching was done in 1973 on the SH claims (Geology, Exploration and Mining 1972, page 80 and 1973, page 101).

The area is underlain by sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Nicola Group which have been intruded by granitic rocks of the Jurassic Nelson Intrusions. Nicola Group rocks comprise basic lavas, pyroclastics, argillites and limestones.

Uranium mineralization, likely uraninite, is associated with pegmatite. No other information is available.
