The LV Showing lies west of the Discovery Showing about 70 m deeper in the stratigraphy. It is strongly gold-enriched and comprises pyroxene-actinolite skarn with limonite- and manganese-rich surface coatings and trace malachite. Sampling at the LV showing returned 0.18% copper, 6.83 g/t gold and 2.8 g/t silver over 3 m.
