Located in the Akolkolex River area, SE of Revelstoke. It is a metamorphosed Mississippi-Valley type base-metal deposit.

The occurrence has been known since 1915. Wigwam Mining Co. explored the property in 1925, drilling, open cutting and doing some underground development. In the years since, the property has been owned by several companies, building additional infrastructure, mapping, and drilling. A total of 4100 metres of drilling in 56 holes has been completed on the property.

Mineralization consists of massive and disseminated sulfides. Other minerals encountered in drilling include fluorite, graphite, magnetite, smithsonite, gypsum, cerussite and native sulphur. Also present are dipside, andalusite and sericite. The mineralization is within quartzites and carbonates. The new minerals zoltaiite and greenwoodite were also discovered here.
