The showings occur in glaciated bluffs on the south rim of a large U-shaped valley in high alpine terrain below a remnant ice field. The U-shaped glacial valley to the northwest exposes a large pale pink-weathering granodiorite to granite intrusion, the contact of which is 500 meters from the main Goldzilla showing.
