The Lam showing is about 3.8 kilometres north of Maeford Lake, 55 kilometres northeast of Likely, and 115 kilometres southeast of Quesnel. Access is from Likely on the “8400” logging road connecting Likely with Wells and Barkerville.

The Lam showing is located within the Cariboo Terrane of the Omineca Belt, underlain by rocks of the Upper Proterozoic Cariboo Group, Cunningham Formation. The Pleasant Valley Thrust, a major thrust fault which marks the division between the Cariboo and Barkerville terranes, lies a short distance to the west of the showing.

The Cunningham Formation is characterized by limestone, dolostone and fine-grained marble in gradational contact with the underlying, dominantly clastic rocks of the Isaac Formation and the overlying clastic Yankee Belle Formation. These three formations are considered to be Hadrynian in age and part of the Cariboo Group.

Mineralization consists of quartz stringers hosted by limestone containing erratically distributed galena and sphalerite.

The Lam property was previously owned by Vanguard Explorations who discovered the lead-zinc mineralization. In 1972, Cream Silver Mines Ltd. conducted a soil sampling survey (143 samples). In 1992, Golden Kootenay Resources Inc. completed an orientation VLF-EM survey totalling 4.3 kilometres on the Fog claim group. In 2006, Paget Resources Corporation conducted geological mapping and rock sampling on their Cariboo Zinc property which now covers the original showing.
