The Ben-Four showing, on the Pavey property, is located about 300 metres northeast of a small lake. The Pavey property contains 15 documented showings (104M 002-003, 028, 038-047, 085-086). Refer to the Skarn showing (104M 085) for details on the Pavey property history.

At the showing a trench exposes a quartz vein in schist and gneiss of the Devonian to Permian and older Boundary Ranges Metamorphic Suite. The vein is 30 to 50 centimetres wide and has an exposed strike length of 15 metres. The vein, mineralized with arsenopyrite, strikes 040 degrees and dips 55 degrees southeast. A chip sample across 0.30 metre assayed 6.59 grams per tonne gold and 28.0 grams per tonne silver.

About 25 metres to the southeast is a narrow vein of massive arsenopyrite about 10 metres long, with a similar attitude. A grab sample yielded 22.66 grams per tonne gold and 8.0 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 12554).
