The E & D showing is located 1.0 kilometre west of the Kitsault River, 20.5 kilometres north of Alice Arm. A series of copper-bearing fracture zones have been explored in this area since 1916.

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 a number of fracture and breccia zones. Several of these contain quartz veins, up to 1.2 metres wide, hosted in Hazelton Group pyritic and schistose andesitic crystal tuff. The tuff has undergone widespread carbonate, sericite and chlorite alteration similar to that shown in Copper Belt andesite (informal name) of the upper Kitsault Valley to the north. These zones are cut by a few hornblende porphyritic lamprophyric dikes which follow a subsidiary northeast trending fracture pattern. The zones trend northwest and dip moderately to the northeast and one of the veins strikes 110 degrees and dips 45 degrees northeast. The zones are mineralized over widths of up to 1.8 metres. Mineralization comprises disseminations, blebs and stringers of pyrite and chalcopyrite commonly with irregular lenses, stringers and blebs of quartz.

One of the fracture zones contains a 0.9 metre wide quartz vein mineralized with chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena. Chalcopyrite stringers, 1 to 2 centimetres wide, occur along the margins of the vein. A 0.66 metre chip sample across the vein assayed trace gold, 75.4 grams per tonne silver, 3.32 per cent copper, 0.21 per cent lead and 3.78 per cent zinc (Geology, Exploration and Mining in British Columbia 1971, page 125).

Original development work included three adits and a number of opencuts. The lowest adit, at an elevation of 439 metres, was driven adjacent to a hornblende lamprophyre dike in a southwesterly direction for a distance of more than 61 metres. The adit was driven entirely in light grey-green, bleached, partly schistose crystal tuff which contains abundant disseminated pyrite. Much of the east wall of the adit is occupied by the chilled margin of the hornblende lamprophyre dike, which dips steeply east. Occasional quartz veins and closely spaced north-northeast steeply east dipping fractures were noted throughout the length of the tunnel. Copper staining was observed in a few places but little chalcopyrite was noted. A second adit, at an elevation of 498 metres, was not examined (ca. 1970) because of a slide at the portal. Old reports indicate about 122 metres of drifting and crosscutting in this adit, which was also driven in a southeasterly direction. A north-northeast striking 3 metre wide lamprophyre dike was noted on the east side of the portal. Brecciated green crystal tuff containing streaks and blebs of quartz, pyrite and chalcopyrite was noted in the adit dump. A smaller tunnel, reportedly 6 metres long, and several opencuts, all slightly higher than the second tunnel, were not examined (ca. 1970). Several opencuts between the lowest and middle adits expose mottled green crystal tuffs containing irregular lenses of quartz and coarse pyrite and chalcopyrite. No widths were exposed, but old reports indicate that these zones were up to a metre wide. In 1970, some blasting and trenching adjacent to the original workings was conducted by owners E. Anderson and D. Collison.

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.
