The Montana showing is on a ridge top at the headwaters of Mattock Creek, 1 kilometre southeast of Treasure Mountain peak, approximately 37.5 kilometres east of Terrace, B.C.

The Montana showing is within a greater than 14 kilometre north trending zone of copper+/-silver mineralization extending from Clore River valley to Kleanza River valley.

Shear zones with associated quartz-calcite veins cut andesitic volcanic rocks of the Jurassic Hazelton Group. Mineralization consists of stringers and disseminations of bornite and chalcocite.

A quartz vein, up to 90 centimetres wide and 76 metres long returned a 71 centimetre channel sample assaying 1.18 per cent copper, 20 grams per tonne silver and trace gold (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 212). A 6 metre sample of a shear zone assayed 1.1 per cent copper and 65 grams per tonne silver (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1917).

The Montana showing is within the Treasure Mountain property explored extensively by Trade Winds Ventures Inc. from 2005 to 2011 and by Decade Resources Ltd. commencing in 2017. In 2011, Trade Winds Ventures Inc. contracted Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp. to fly an electromagnetic and magnetic airborne geophysical survey over the Treasure Mountain property, including the Montana showing.
