The Queen showing is located just northeast of Trout Creek, 28 kilometres north of the town of Alice Arm. This showing was prospected in 1923 for lead and silver.

A trench has exposed a 0.6 metre wide silicified zone in andesite of the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group well mineralized with fine-grained galena. A grab sample assayed trace gold, 223 grams per tonne silver and 12 per cent lead (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1923, page 50).

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.
