The McDougall showing is located 40 kilometres southwest of Nanaimo and 7 kilometres north of Cowichan Lake. This showing occurs on the Heather property (092C 127), 1.7 kilometres north of the main showing.

The area is within the Cowichan uplift and is underlain by Paleozoic Sicker Group rocks. The showing is underlain by northwest trending Devonian Nitinat and Upper Devonian McLauglin Ridge formations comprising volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks. Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite intrusives also occur in the area.

The McDougall showing consists of three en echelon quartz veins which strike northeast and dip near vertically. The veins locally contain trace pyrite and chalcopyrite-rich (2-3 percent) malachite- stained pods. The veins occur in relatively unaltered Nitinat flow breccias. The veins are 12.0 by 0.3 metres, 4.5 by 0.3 metres and 2.0 by 0.2 metres in size, respectively.

The highest gold value was obtained from a panel sample, 6.5 by 0.25 metres in size, of the largest vein. This sample assayed 9.15 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 17833).

Diamond drilling results in 1988 were disappointing.
