The Monday showing is located in the valley bottom, at the headwaters of Bulldog Creek, approximately 8 kilometres up-stream form Portland Canal and 15 kilometres south-southeast of Stewart, B.C.

The showing consists of narrow veins of massive galena, sphalerite and pyrite hosted in granodiorite of the Jurassic Bulldog Creek pluton (Coast Plutonic Complex). Samples assayed up to 6.6 grams per tonne gold, 1200 grams per tonne silver and 50 per cent lead (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1926, page 86).

The area is underlain by diorite and minor quartz diorite and granodiorite of the Eocene Coast Plutonic Complex. These plutonic rocks have intruded and contain local remnants of, Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Occasionally andesite and quartz monzonite dikes intrude the diorite.

In 2010, a rock and silt sampling program on the Bulldog Creek property was conducted by Nanika Resources and 119 rock and 3 silt samples were collected; rock samples included 14 grab, 11 chip and 94 float samples. Mineralization is associated with quartz veins, quartz cemented breccias, stockwork and skarn. Sulphides include mostly pyrite with much less sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite. Two float samples containing anomalous gold values were collected in the valley bottom of Bulldog Creek, within 400 metres of the Monday showing. (Assessment Report 32103).
