The NA 5062 showing is located on the east side of Hobo Creek, just east of Mount Mussen.

The showing was discovered in 1989 by Pacific Sentinel during prospecting on their Willison Bay property.

The area is underlain by sheared Cretaceous granodiorite, probably of the Cretaceous to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex.

A quartz-carbonate vein and iron-carbonate veinlets are hosted in sheared granodiorite strikes 090 degrees and dips 85 degrees south. One per cent malachite staining occurs on fractures.

A sample from an 8 centimetre wide quartz-carbonate vein containing 1 to 2 per cent disseminated pyrite and 2 to 3 per cent chalcopyrite assayed 0.068 grams per tonne gold, 34.3 grams per tonne silver, 2.73 per cent copper, 0.19 per cent lead and 0.05 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 19887, sample WB 8803).
