The Acadia showing is located on the eastern slope of Esperanza Mountain in the vicinity of the Esperanza mine (103P 126), just northwest of Alice Arm.

The area is underlain by Middle to Upper Jurassic Hazelton Group sediments. The sediments dip moderately to steeply southwest and northeast as a result of being deformed into closely spaced northwest-trending folds.

The showing consists of a 1.5 metre wide quartz vein, hosted in argillite, that strikes 120 degrees and dips 50 degrees northeast. Mineralization occurs as massive pyrrhotite, containing chalcopyrite and blebs of galena throughout the vein and as a 0.15 metre thick band of sphalerite, pyrite and galena along the hangingwall of the vein. A selected grab sample from the dump of a trench assayed trace gold, 61.7 grams per tonne silver, trace copper, trace lead, 3.9 per cent zinc and trace nickel (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1929, page 84).
