The Alpha (Magog) showing is poorly located, and very little is recorded about it. Minister of Mines Annual Reports for 1894 to 1898 state that the showings are on the Duck Creek trail in the Goat River area and the character of the ore is galena and tetrahedrite. The area is underlain by sedimentary rocks of the Purcell Supergroup of Middle Proterozoic age.
