The Bell Mountain showing is located in the northwest of Porcher Island about 1.5 kilometres south-southeast of the Surf Point/Porcher Island Mine (103J 017), 37.8 kilometres south-southwest (206°) of Prince Rupert, B.C.
Two east striking, steep dipping sheared quartz veins occur in altered Cretaceous to Tertiary quartz diorite of the Coast Plutonic Complex near its contact with Paleozoic-Mesozoic metavol- canics. The veins, 200 metres apart, are 0.3 to 1 metre wide and are mineralized with lenses of pyrite. Selected samples assayed 35 grams per tonne gold and 6.8 grams per tonne silver (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1933).
In 2015, Imperial Metals Corp. conducted an exploration program to locate old showings on their Porcher Island property. The program included 9 rock samples from showings, 32 soil samples and 12 stream sediment samples. Two anomalous gold stream sediment samples were collected east of the known developed prospects in the vicinity of the Bell Mtn gold occurrence. The the linear ravine which contains this drainage probably hosts a parallel structure to the Edye Shear Zone, located 1.5 km to the west (Assessment Report 35801).
