The Red Top showing is 1.9 kilometres northeast of Highway 3, 1.75 kilometres northwest of Cahill Creek and 2.5 kilometres east of Hedley.

The showing is hosted in the Sunnyside limestone member of the Upper Triassic Hedley Formation (Nicola Group). The limestone is cut by hornblende porphyry sills of the Early Jurassic Hedley Intrusions in the vicinity of the showing.

Calcium silicate skarn is developed over a 30 by 20 metre area. The skarn is mineralized with arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite.
