The Cold Blow occurrence is located on the north western slopes of Mount Cornfield at an elevation of approximately 1700 metres, near an unnamed creek flowing northwest into Lemon Creek.

The area is dominated by granitic rocks of the Middle to Late Jurassic Nelson Intrusions.

Locally, a 5 to 20 centimetre wide quartz vein with traces of course-grained cubic pyrite is hosted by a 1 metre wide pegmatite-aplite dike with a shallow east- north east dip.

In 2011, a composite sample (MM2201) of outcrop and dump material assayed 1.46 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 33876).

The area has been explored since 1896 in conjunction with the Alpine Gold (082FNW127) occurrence to the south east. A single, historic decline, now filled with water and estimated to be 10 metres long exposes the quartz vein. In 2011, Matovich Mining Industries completed a program of geological mapping and rock sampling on the area as the Alpine property.
