The F.S. showing is located 1 kilometre northwest of Gavin lake, 19 kilometres southwest of Likely. In the mid 1980s, Aberdeen Resources Limited held claims (Astra) immediately south of the showing area.

The F.S. showing occurs within basaltic breccia of the lower part of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Nicola Group of the central Quesnel belt. Stratigraphically underlying the basalt are Upper Triassic sedimentary rocks which outcrop immediately to the south. These rocks are intruded by the same quartz monzonite dikes as the Wet occurrence (93A 059).

Mineralization consists of minor amounts of pyrite and chalco- pyrite in fractures within the basaltic breccia. Some of these fractures are filled with quartz and carbonate.
