The Cabin Vein is exposed in the banks of Federal Creek, striking northeast and dipping southeast. It averages 3 metres in width and contains abundant pyrite with lesser amounts of arsenopyrite, galena and chalcopyrite. The vein crosscuts the regional foliation in a narrow zone of strongly altered (silicified) and foliated green andesites and tuffs of the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group (Telkwa Formation).
The Boulder Vein (MINFILE 093L 276) is likely the same as the Cabin vein, occurring 350 metres along strike to the east. The combined length of the two veins exceeds 750 metres.

In the early 1920s on the Cabin showing, a crosscut was driven 107 metres to the vein. In 1992, drilling along the western extent of the Boulder structure revealed that the Cabin Vein was a continuation of the Boulder Gold deposit (093L 276). In 2000, Guardsmen Resources collected rock samples from the Cabin zone. The east-west trending quartz-carbonate-sulphide vein assayed up to 3.82 grams per tonne gold with associated high antimony, lead, zinc and moderate silver, copper, cadmium and manganese enrichment (Assessment Report 26532).
Refer to Dome Mountain (Boulder vein) (093L 276) for related details and a complete Dome Mountain property work history.
