The Canyon showing is located 20.5 kilometres north of Alice Arm on the east bank of the Kitsault River. The area was explored in 1924 for silver and base metals.

The region is underlain by an assemblage of volcanics and sediments comprising the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group and the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group. These are folded into a doubly plunging north-northwest trending syncline and have been regionally metamorphosed to greenschist facies.

The showing comprises quartz veins in a shear zone, up to 2.4 metres wide, hosted in Hazelton Group andesite. The zone strikes 070 degrees and dips 35 to 40 degrees northwest. The veins are sporadically mineralized with pyrite, chalcopyrite and traces of galena. Grab samples have assayed up to 4285 grams per tonne silver (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1924, page 54).

In 1924, about 152 metres above a cabin at the end of the new bridge and at an elevation of 335 metres, a tunnel has been driven in on the vein about 6 metres.

During 2010 through 2019, Dolly Silver Corporation explored the area as apart of the Dolly Varden property. A complete property exploration history can be found at the Dolly Varden (MINFILE 103P 188) occurrence.
