The Scarlet occurrence is located at 1350 metres elevation near the southwestern end of a ridge north of Sinmax Creek and east of Johnson Creek.

Regionally, the area is underlain by andesitic and calc-alkaline volcanic rocks, greenstone and greenschist metamorphic rocks of the Lower Paleozoic to Mississippian Foghorn Mountain, Skwaam Bay and Forest Lake units of the Eagle Bay Assemblage.

Locally, as exposed in trench OKT88-1 on the Scarlet zone, a 1.5-metre wide quartz vein or veined zone in carbonaceous sediments (shales) hosts scattered pods of galena, pyrite and tetrahedrite with minor sphalerite. The vein(s) have been exposed over a strike length of 40 metres. Alteration patterns include silicification, bleaching and limonite. Another trench is exposed a zone of disseminated pyrite with minor galena stringers.

In 1988, selected grab samples (OKG1068 to OKG1072) from trench OKT88-1 yielded from 331.0 to 495.0 grams per tonne silver, 48.20 to 57.00 per cent lead, 0.02 to 0.21 per cent zinc, 0.010 to 0.041 per cent copper, 0.10 to 0.13 per cent antimony and 0.04 to 0.19 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 18216).

During 1984 through 1987, Rialto Silver Resources Ltd. completed programs of rock, silt and soil sampling, geological mapping, ground geophysical surveys and four diamond drill holes, totalling 364.2 metres, on the area as the Ok 1-2 claims. In 1988, Minnova Inc. optioned the OK claims from Algo Resources Ltd. and completed a program of rock sampling, trenching and geological mapping.

In 2007 and 2008, Eagle Plains Resources completed programs of rock and soil sampling, geological mapping and airborne geophysical surveys on the area as the Acacia property. In 2011 and 2012, Vigilante Metals Inc. prospected and geochemically (rock and soil) sampled the area as the Inferno property.
