The Argo showing is located west of Louis Creek about 33 kilometres north-northeast of the community of Kamloops. The showing consists of north to northwest and east-west trending quartz veins and stringer zones sporadically mineralized with pyrite, chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite. The quartz veins are hosted in a sequence of greenstone, argillite, chlorite schist and quartz mica schist of the Carboniferous to Triassic Nicola and/or Harper Ranch groups. One high-grade sample of massive sulphides with quartz veining analysed 3.04 per cent copper and 326.3 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 17074).
The first evidence of work was the driving of an adit on a quartz vein possibly in the 1930s. The portal is now covered by bulldozer debris but local knowledge reports the adit to run about 17 metres on a westerly bearing. In 1970-71, W.J. Stuart completed an electromagnetic and self-potential survey on the Argo claims which covered the adit zone. In 1977, a ground magnetometer survey was completed on behalf of Ramco Industries Limited. In the late 1970s an unknown mining company from Vancouver acquired the ground and it appears that high-grade adit material was transported from the portal and deposited on a flat area above the adit. In addition, light bulldozer trenching and stripping was completed just east of the adit on surface exposures. In 1979, propecting, geochemical sampling and a geology survey was performed on behalf of G. Irving. In 1981, the ground was staked as the Morgan claim. In 1984, a soil geochemical survey was undertaken over a portion of the claims for Callex Mineral Exploration Ltd. In 1987, a geophysical survey consisting of EM-16 readings, soil and rock geochemistry and geology were completed on behalf of Callex Enterprises Ltd. In 1989, four diamond-drill holes were put down totalling 183 metres on behalf of Shephard Insurance Group.
