The Rite 2 showing is located 40 kilometres southwest of Nanaimo, 2 kilometres south of the Rite 1 showing (092F 562).

The area is underlain by tuff, chert and argillite of the Mississippian to Pennsylvanian Fourth Lake Formation (Buttle Lake Group) which have been intruded by diorite and granodiorite of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite. A broad zone of imbricate faulting and shearing is present and exposures of fault breccia, intense shearing and alteration occur.

Exploration in 1988 identified four target areas characterized by gold, silver, arsenic, copper and molybdenite mineralization hosted in quartz-sulphide veins within quartz-ankerite, sericite, fuchsite and hematite bearing shear zones. The main target has a strike length of 3.2 kilometres over widths up to 1 kilometre, within which a series of 10 to 100 metre wide alteration packages occur. These comprise the Rite and Rain property which includes the Rite 1 showing (092F 562).

On the Rite 2 claim, target D was anomalous in copper and molybdenum plus or minus gold and silver. The anomalies occur associated with quartz veins crosscutting volcaniclastic and intrusive rocks. The veins are up to 0.10 metres wide and contain up to 15 per cent pyrite, 4 per cent molybdenite and trace chalcopyrite. The volcaniclastic rocks adjacent to intrusives are locally intensely epidote altered. The area of interest is approximately 600 by 1200 metres.

A grab sample was taken from an outcrop containing a quartz vein which crosscuts a granodioritic dyke along a shear plane. This sample (#25063) assayed 0.4 grams per tonne gold , 3.9 grams per tonne silver, and 0.0427 per cent copper (Assessment Report 18635). Molybdenum has been documented on the nearby Close occurrence (092C 112) to the south.
