The Verde occurrence is located approximately 10 kilometres east of Deadwood Lake, about 140 kilometres northeast of the community of Dease Lake.

The showing is underlain by Cambrian-Ordovician Kechika Group limy shales, limestones and phyllites striking 150 degrees and dipping subvertically. A 10 metre wide quartz vein with shale inclusions can be traced along strike for 100 to 150 metres. Mineralization consists of minor chalcopyrite, bornite, pyrite, azurite and malachite.

Early in 1969, Emperor Mines Ltd. completed 35 line kilometres of total field aeromagnetic surveying on the Debbie claim group which appear to cover a portion of the Verde showing. In 1978, Mountain Minerals Co. Ltd. geologically mapped two locations (Verde; Hope, 104P 053) and two C.E.M. lines were run across both areas.
