The Albany showing is located on the south fork of Glacier Creek (Albany Creek), 7 kilometres northeast of Stewart. Several veins were investigated for polymetallic mineralization between 1909 and 1925.

The occurrence consists of two veins hosted in argillite of the Middle Jurassic Salmon River Formation (Hazelton Group) adjacent to the northwest margin of a Tertiary(?) augite diorite stock (Coast Plutonic Complex).

A 0.15 to 0.30 metre wide quartz-breccia vein striking 144 degrees and dipping 50 degrees southwest occurs just east of the creek. The vein contains massive pyrite and minor galena and sphalerite over a width of up to 0.30 metre. A selected grab sample from the vein assayed 6.63 grams per tonne gold, 343 grams per tonne silver, 17 per cent lead and 4 per cent zinc (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1926, page 92).

A 1.5 to 2.4 metre wide vuggy quartz-breccia vein, striking 159 degrees and dipping between 10 degrees east and 50 degrees west, outcrops along the east bank of the creek to the northwest. The vein is mineralized with abundant, locally massive pyrite, sphalerite and galena. A few selected samples assayed up to trace gold, 247 grams per tonne silver, 24 per cent lead and 34 per cent zinc (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1926, page 92).

In 1926, about 7.6 metres below an opencut near a cabin, a tunnel was driven 4.5 metres to the vein, then 19.8 metres on it revealing the vein to be about 0.6 metre wide of brecciated and slightly mineralized quartz and country rock. On the north bank of the creek, just below the falls, an outcrop of a 1.8 metre wide vein is heavily mineralized with pyrite, sphalerite and galena and a short tunnel was driven on it.
