The Virginia showing is located near the junction of the Salmon River and Boundary Creek on the banks of Cascade Creek in southeastern Alaska.

Located in the Intermontane Belt, the area, bounded on the west by the Coast Crystalline Complex and on the east by the Bowser Basin, is part of the Stikinia Terrane.

The showing is hosted by the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group Unuk River Formation metavolcanics. The Hazelton Group is a northwest trending, steeply east dipping belt of folded andesitic lapilli tuffs, flows and breccia containing a thick sequence of argillite and siltstone infolded along a synclinal axis. The sequence is intruded by the Early Jurassic Texas Creek plutonic suite of dacitic porphyry dykes and sills, Eocene granitic Hyder intrusives and lamprophyre dykes.

An adit has been driven in intensely altered porphyry and a drift exposed a mineralized shoot in a 61.0 centimetre wide shear zone. The shoot strikes 130 degrees, dips southward and consists of almost solid sulphide in quartz gangue. These sulphides are pyrrhotite, sphalerite pyrite and a little galena and tetrahedrite. Mineralized bands are also exposed in the roof of the drift and quartz veins and calcite veinlets are common. Near the portal of the adit a lamprophyre dyke was intersected. Values as high as 154.30 grams per tonne gold are reported from selected samples of ore (United States Geological Survey Bulletin 807). Another adit, 46.0 metres upstream, exposed sparse similiar mineralization with the addition of minor chalco- pyrite and a notable quantity of epidote in bands and veins. Mineralization on the property occurs in veins, stringers, threads, blebs, and as fracture fillings and disseminated in host rocks.

Contact metamorphism has produced epidote and rare garnet near several dykes on the property.
