The Choice 1-2 claims are located .approximately 75 kilometres northeast of Cranbrook. In 1995, the claims were staked to cover a copper- bearing quartz vein that was exposed by a road cut. A follow-up field examination and a limited soil sampling survey was conducted on the claims in 1998.
Locally, grey- bedded limestone of the Ordovician- Silurian Beaverfoot- Brisco formations occurs in the hanging wall of the gypsum fault.
The Choice vein is described as a 0.20 to 0.5 metre wide quartz- carbonate vein exposed over 1.5 metres in a road cut of the Haynes Creek FSR. Chalcopyrite occurs as scattered blebs and irregular masses within the quartz.
In 1995, a grab sample of the vein returned 12.48 per cent copper (Assessment Report 24868).
In 1998, a chip sample, across 0.45 metres, of quartz vein material returned 1332 parts per million copper. Another sample of quartz vein with limonite and malachite staining, chalcopyrite and chalcocite returned over 10,000 parts per million copper (Assessment Report 25728).
