The Eagle showing is located west of the Kitsault River, about 600 metres northeast of Klayduc Creek and 10.5 kilometres north-northwest of Alice Arm. The showing was explored in 1926 and 1928 by trenching and tunnelling.

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

The showing consists of a quartz-calcite vein, from 1.2 to 3.0 metres wide, extending for at least 914 metres in black siltstone of the Stuhini Group. The vein strikes northwest, dips 50 degrees northeast and locally contains zones of brecciated siltstone of up to 1.5 metres in width. The vein is mineralized with sparse pyrite and good values in precious metals are reported from samples (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1926, page 81).

In 1926, considerable prospecting of the ground was done and several opencuts put in at long intevals resulted in tracing the quartz vein for two claim lengths or more.

In 2005, Kitsault Resources Ltd. completed a reconnaissance stream sediment survey on the area as the Kitsault Gold property.
