The Abrahamson prospect is near the junction of North (Ferguson) Creek and South Lardeau Creek, near the community of Ferguson. The Abrahamson Group originally included the North Star, Crystal and Queen of the Hills tenures. The tenures were worked in the early 1890s; however, their precise location is uncertain.
The Davey veins straddle Lardeau Creek approximately 500 metres downstream from the mouth of Cup Creek. The Davey claim (L.2452) covers the road bridge across Lardeau Creek. It is part of a cluster that originally included the Cheyenne, Coon, "Davie", Jubilee, Crescent claims and Glencoe and Daisy fractions. The Coon was uphill to the northeast of the Davey, and the Cheyenne was uphill and to the northeast of the Coon. The veins in the area were discovered in the late 1890s and exposed in open cuts and short adits by 1898.
The Davey and associated claims are underlain by undifferentiated Lardeau Group strata on strike midway between the Nettie L. [082KNW100] and Silver Cup [082KNW027] deposits. They are folded, faulted and locally highly phyllitic. 
There are three quartz veins on the Cheyenne claim. The south vein is 2.4 metres wide and open on strike. It has 0.15 metre of galena ore on its hanging wall and is cut by several small stringers of galena. There is a short adit on the centre vein, which shows a little galena mixed with quartz. The Coon claim has two veins that have been traced for several tens of metres. A crosscut taps the main vein at a depth of 7 metres. At this point, it is 1.8 metres wide and carries about 0.08 metre of solid galena in its hanging wall. An open cut on the south vein exposes a large body of quartz that contains specks and small seams of galena. The Davey vein was exposed by an open cut and a 10.6 metres long tunnel. There is a small amount of mineralization on its hanging wall.
