The Red 23 occurrence is situated along the southern limits of the extensive Cambria Icefield, overlooking the headwaters of the Kshwan River to the south, about 23 kilometres southeast of Stewart.

The showing is underlain primarily by Middle-Upper Jurassic Hazelton Group sedimentary rocks. Locally silicified black argillite contains trace to 2 per cent pyrrhotite. Hornfelsed areas are common but intrusive rocks are not apparent in outcrop. Rocks in the southern portion of the showing area consist of a volcaniclastic package comprised of bedded reworked tuffs, argillites, limestones and hornfels. A chlorite altered and sheared andesitic tuff with intense iron oxide alteration contains 3-5 per cent disseminated pyrrhotite and pyrite and 1-3 millimetre quartz veinlets; a rock chip sample (KK-873) analysed 2.2 grams per tonne silver and 130 parts per billion gold. Nearby, a grap sample (ERK-863) from black, rusty, silicified argillite with 1-2 per cent fine-grained pyrrhotite yielded 1.8 grams per tonne silver and 0.09 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 23936).

In 1994, reconnaissance rock chip samples were taken on behalf of Teuton Resources Corp.
