The Where Southwest showing is 2.4 kilometres south-southwest of the summit of Selish Mountain and 4.2 kilometres west-northwest of the confluence of Howarth Creek and its main east-flowing tributary. A similar occurrence, Where Northeast (092HNE136), is 460 metres northeast.

A zone of skarn alteration and associated mineralization is developed in andesite in the Western volcanic facies of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group, about 400 metres southeast of a dioritic to gabbroic stock that underlies much of the south flank of Selish Mountain.

The northeast-trending zone outcrops discontinuously over 50 metres. Well-developed banding strikes 040 degrees and dips vertically. The skarn consists of calcite, epidote and minor garnet, with 0.5 to 1.0 centimetre thick lensoidal bands of massive magnetite containing some specular hematite and occasional disseminated chalcopyrite.

Work History

In 1966, T.C. Exploration Ltd. completed a 67.2 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey on the area immediately west of the occurrence as the Doe, Gay, Kane and Salem claims.

The showing was mapped and sampled by El Paso Mining and Milling Company in 1973.

In 2014, Tech-X Resources Ltd. completed a program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling on the area as the Selish Mountain property.

In 2019, Lionheart Exploration Inc. completed a program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling on the area as the Chev property.
