The Copper Canyon showing is located on the west bank of the Chemainus River, west and along strike of the volcanogenic-type Victoria (092B 004) past-producer, located on the opposite bank of the river.

The area is underlain mainly by felsic volcanic tuffs of the McLaughlin Ridge Formation, Sicker Group. The rocks at the showing include graphitic schists and cherty sediments and tuffs which form a band within the rhyolitic volcanics. This is the same band of sediments which host the massive sulphides at the Lenora-Tyee (092B 001) deposit to the east. The strike of the sediments along the Chemainus River is about 080 degrees and the dip is 70 degrees south.

An adit has been driven on a quartz vein which varies in width from 2.5 to 46 centimetres, averaging about 33 centimetres. The tunnel follows the vein for 41 metres at which point it stops (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1902). The vein is reported to contain mostly pyrite with some chalcopyrite and traces of sphalerite and galena. Gold values are reported to be low. A 91 metre shaft was later put down on the Copper Canyon group (presumably on the claim of the same name) with drifts driven off it. Some attractive copper showings were reported. Assessment Report 4626 (Figure 3) shows a shaft on the claim near the Chemainus River.

In 1998, a self potential geophysical survey was completed. In 2010 and 2011, Rock-Con Resources completed a program of prospecting and rock sampling on the Mount Sicker property. Chip samples, taken near the mouth of the adit, assayed up to 12.25 grams per tonne silver and 3.11 per cent copper (Assessment Report 32278).
