The Sec 5 occurrence lies 10.2 kilometres east-northeast of Mount Sister Mary, 6.75 kilometres north of the Stikine River and about 57 kilometres east-northeast of the village of Iskut. The showing is 900 metres southwest of the Joy 84 prospect (104H 010). Rugged mountains to the north of the property and deeply incised rolling highlands to the south marks the boundary between the Cassiar Mountains and the Spatsizi Plateau. Refer to the Joy 84 prospect for comments on history and regional geology.

The Sec 5 showing comprises a 40 metre wide, northwest striking mineralized fractured and faulted zone in unnamed Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic amygdaloidal andesite. The length of the zone is unknown. Chalcocite is associated with epidote masses cut by quartz stringers. In addition, the hostrock has been brecciated and veined by pinkish zeolite; malachite is common on weathered surfaces.

Bulldozer trenching has tested the mineralized zone and a rock chip sample collected across a 2.1-metre shear assayed 0.01 per cent copper (Property File - Bowser Resources Ltd., 1969).

In 2014, on behalf of Garibaldi Resources Corp., stream sediment geochemistry (20 samples) and airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys (331 line kilometres) were carried out over their large MSM property claims which covers the Sec 5 showing area. As well, satellite imagery was used to produce a lineament map of the property, which was compared to geological, geochemical and geophysical data to help define favourable areas for mineral exploration.
