The Cape Nome showing is located on the west side of the Kitsault River, 7.0 kilometres north of Alice Arm on Lot 939. The area was explored in 1918 and 1919 for precious metals.

The region is underlain by an assemblage of volcanics and sediments comprising the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group and Jurassic Hazelton Group. This assemblage is folded into a north to northwest trending anticline-syncline pair.

The showing consists of a 1.8 metre wide zone, in Stuhini Group black siltstone, that contains a series of parallel quartz veins. The veins, mineralized with pyrite, strike northwest and dip 50 degrees northeast. Good gold values are reported from the quartz veins (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1919, page 52).

In 1918, a tunnel was being driven on a 1.8 metre wide banded slate and quartz vein within an altered limestone formation. A zinc showing has been found farther up the hill. The tunnel is on an even grade with the railroad which is about a hundred metres from it.
