The Hecla (Bluebird) showing is located on the north slope of the Rocher Deboule Mountain Range, at the headwaters of Mission Creek, 5.5 kilometres south of New Hazelton.
A 2.7-metre-wide aplite dike and a 1.8-metre-wide pegmatite dike cutting porphyritic granodiorite of the Rocher Deboule stock are silicified and cut by narrow quartz veinlets carrying pyrite and chalcopyrite. A grab sample from a drift which was driven to explore the mineralized pegmatite dike assayed 0.39 per cent copper, trace gold and 18.2 grams per tonne silver (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 223). A grab sample taken to sample the 1.2 metre wide mineralized zone in the aplite dike assayed 0.22 per cent copper, 34.3 grams per tonne silver and trace gold (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 223).
The Rocher Deboule stock is one of the Late Cretaceous Bulkley Intrusions and potassium/argon dating of biotite has yielded a date of 72 million years (Geological Survey of Canada Open File 2322).
