The DS 327 showing is located about 266 metres south of the Stockwork or Crystal showing (093A 126) near the divide between the headwaters of Little Snowshoe and French Snowshoe creeks, about 22 kilometres south of Barkerville.

The showing is a quartz lens containing pyrite and galena and occurs in metasedimentary rocks (quartzite) of the Upper Proterozoic-Paleozoic Snowshoe Group. Although this occurrence was documented in the 1980s, it is within a cluster of precious metal bearing quartz veins that was initially recognized in the 1800s (Geological Survey of Canada Map 369; Bulletin 34). A rock sample (D.S. 327) analyzed 7.7 grams per tonne gold, 57.2 grams per tonne silver and 1.24 per cent lead (Assessment Report 13663).

In 1984, Suncor Inc. took 1004 soil samples and 7 rock samples on their Yanks Peak property grid.
