The Morning Star showing is located north of the Skeena River approximately 3.5 kilometres northeast of Woodcock. The area was explored between 1927 and 1931 for lead-zinc-silver mineralization.

The area is underlain by argillite, sandstone, and conglomerate of the Middle to Upper Jurassic Bowser Lake Group intruded by a granodiorite stock of the Juro-Cretaceous Coast Plutonic Complex.

Mineralization extends from just beyond the contact area into the stock itself over an area of about 120 metres. An open cut at the contact exposes a number of well mineralized small quartz seams extending over a considerable width. These seams strike 325 degrees and dip 70 degrees west. Mineralization consists of galena, sphaler- ite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite occurring as fracture fillings and disseminations.

A selected grab sample containing galena, sphalerite, arsenopy- rite and pyrite assayed 0.686 grams per tonne gold, 274.234 grams per tonne silver, 6 per cent lead and 13 per cent zinc (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1927 p.129) tin has also been reported. Similar, min- eralization occurs to the northwest at the Moose and Deer showings (103P 039). Due to the location uncertainty these are possibly the same showings.
