The WR showing is located on the west bank of the White River approximately 20 kilometres south of its confluence with the Salmon River and the community of Sayward.
The White River (WR) is underlain by massive and amygdaloidal basalts of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation and fine-grained Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group sediments. The contact between the two units is a fault striking southwest under the White River. Some limestone is noted in the Karmutsen Formation basalts.
Pyrite, chalcopyrite and bornite are found in the basalts along fracture systems branching from the fault. A rock chip sample taken from trench 2 assayed 1.25 per cent copper with trace gold and silver (Assessment Report 2498). Shearing was evident in the trench.
In 1970, Newconex completed a program of trenching, geological mapping and rock, silt and soil sampling on the area as the WR claims.
