The Brian showing is located south of Putnam Creek, just west of Trinity Valley and about 17 kilometres north of Lumby.

In 1985, mapping, sampling and 1 diamond drillhole were completed.

The area is underlain by sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Nicola Group. Locally, these comprise phyllite and schist.

Rusty weathering exposures of graphitic and pyritic phyllites and schists on the west side of Trinity Valley road were sampled. Several selected grab samples of the more gossanous material assayed up to 3 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 13660).

The diamond drillhole intersected black, tuffaceous phyllite containing calcite veins. One 60 centimetre intersection assayed 2.49 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 13660).
