The Men showing is located approximately 20 kilometres west of Port Alberni.

The Men occurrence is underlain by pillow basalt, basalt flow breccia and massive porphyritic basalt flows of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group). The basalts are intruded by numerous diorite-granodiorite dykes that range in width from 1 to 10 metres with roughly north or northwest-trending contacts with the basalt. The dykes are related to the Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite. A number of strong north and northwest strike-slip faults occur; less dominant faults strike northeast.

Mineralization occurs near the faults where irregular, narrow, pyritic quartz-carbonate veining is hosted in fractures. The veins range up to 15 centimetres in width and contain trace chalcopyrite.

In 1988, Area Explorations Ltd. completed an exploration program of reconnaissance, geological mapping and prospecting. A total of six rock samples and nine heavy mineral samples were collected from the property. Rock sample 6303 assayed 4.3 grams per tonne gold, 8.0 grams per tonne silver and 0.12 per cent copper (Assessment Report 17418).

In 1992, Falcon Ventures International Corp. optioned the property from Area Explorations Ltd. and completed geological mapping and geochemical sampling consisting of two panned concentrates, six silt samples, 497 soil samples and 54 rock samples. Highlights of the rock sampling include rock sample MYR-13, which assayed 12 grams per tonne gold and 2.2 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 22451).
