The showing is located at an elevation of 152 metres just east of the Tlell River.

The area is underlain by Middle Jurassic Yakoun Group andesites which are intruded by granodiorite and quartz diorite of the Chinukundl Pluton of the Middle to Late Jurassic Burnaby Island Plutonic Suite. The northwest trending Sandspit fault separates these rocks and the poorly consolidated sediments of the Tertiary Skonun Formation which lie to the northeast.

Disseminated pyrite with minor chalcopyrite, molybdenite, sphalerite, and galena occur within infaulted wedges of sheared and hornfelsed Yakoun Group rocks, and within the intrusive rocks where north trending faults are favoured.

In 1968 MINO 1 to 78 claims were owned by E. Specogna, and G. Trinco. Falconbridge Nickel Mines Limited surveyed the Mino 1, 2, 5 and 6 claims with a soil sample and magnetometer survey. Silt samples were taken over the entire group for geochemical analysis. In 1969 the company collected 3500 soil and 1,000 silt samples in the vicinity of T1e11 River and north of lower Millar Creek for geochemical analysis. They also blasted 20 trenches for a total length.of 152.4 metres and 30 shallow pits.

In 1970, Adanac Mining and Exploration Ltd. optioned Mino 1 to 124,Nadisa 1 to 14, Lucia 1 to 24, Tania 1 to 6, .and Carol 1 to 6 - a total of 174 claims. The company also staked Aida 1 to 70. Work included surface geological mapping on Mino 1, 2, 5, 6, and 49 and surface diamond drilling of 2 holes totalling 155 metres on Mino 1 and 49.
