The showing is located on the northeast side of Shields Bay, south of Riley Creek.

A volcanic-sedimentary sequence of rock of probable Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation, Vancouver Group, are intruded to the west by quartz diorite of the Middle to Late Jurassic San Christoval Plutonic Suite. Dark green, structureless amygdaloidal andesites and basalts lie east of the northeast trending intrusive contact.

Irregular pods of bornite and minor chalcopyrite occur in a brecciated skarn within sediments. The mineralized zone is 6 to 9 metres wide and trends 110 degrees from the contact with the quartz diorite.

In 1969 Nikamor Bidiuk held the NRM 1 to 12 claims. Magnetometer and electromagnetic surveys were made on the NRM 3 and 4 claims.

Misty Mountain Gold Ltd. completed airborne, radiometrics, resistivity, magnetometer surveys over the prospect in 1995, while exploring a large block of claims adjacent to the showing.
