The Mob 2 showing occurs along a road adjacent to the northeast corner of Hornet Lakes (Loosemore Lake), 6.8 kilometres southwest of Missezula Lake.

Several closely-spaced trenches reveal pyrite and chalcopyrite as disseminations and fracturing fillings, in fine-grained granite and quartz monzonite of the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic Allison Lake pluton. A few specks of bornite are also present. The trenches are in an area 140 metres long and up to 80 metres wide. A 5-metre long drillhole intersected fine-grained, dark-coloured diorite, cut by fractures filled with epidote and pyrite.

E. Sleeman and Bronson Mines Ltd. conducted soil, magnetometer and geological surveys over the showing in 1973 and 1974. The company drilled one shallow hole in 1975.
