The Copper Coin showing is located along the southern banks of Strawberry Creek, 3 kilometres east of Blue Lake.

The immediate area of the Copper Coin showing has a history of limited mining activity dating back to the late 1800s. A number of abandoned trenches, open pits and adits are known south of the Copper Coin showing and surrounding area.

The claims lie within and along the western border of Osoyoos granodiorite, part of the Middle Jurassic Similkameen batholith. The pluton consists of granite and granodiorite. It intrudes quartzite, gneiss, pyroxenite and greenstone of the Carboniferous to Permian Kobau Group. The Kruger pluton outcrop to the south and consists of alkaline syenite, nepheline syenite and syenitic gneiss.

The showing consists of veins and small shears carrying copper values and one hydrothermally altered zone carrying sparse molybdenite, found in a creek bottom (Assessment Report 1182). A small surface showing of copper was also found (Assessment Report 1182). An induced polarization anomaly was found on the claims but was not followed up.
