The Arrow occurrence is located near the head waters of Long Creek, a tributary of the Robertson River, approximately 7 kilometres southeast of Mesachie Lake

The area is underlain by Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group volcanics consisting of lava, tuff and breccia of mainly basaltic to rhyolitic composition. It contains occasional interbeds and sequences of marine argillite and greywacke. A stock of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite (formerly called the Island Intrusions) lies to the southwest of the showings. The volcanics have been intruded by dikes and irregularly shaped bodies of granodiorite, granite porphyry and diorite porphyry. Limestone, reported to occur as lenses and roof pendants in both the volcanics and the intrusive, is probably related to the Quatsino Formation (Vancouver Group).

Locally, several skarn zones, 1 to 2 metres wide, occur near a contact of basalt and granodiorite and host disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite.

In 1980, Sonar Energy completed a program of rock and soil geochemical sampling and geological mapping on the Maxi claim. Samples of skarn material yielded values up to 0.19 per cent copper (Assessment Report 8209). Previous sampling is reported to have yielded values up to 1.58 per cent copper over 1.8 metres (Assessment Report 8209).

In 1981, Strata Energy completed a program of soil geochemical sampling and geological mapping. In 1986 and 1989, programs of ground geophysical surveys were completed. In 2006, the area was staked as the Stag claim and a program of geochemical sampling and prospecting was completed.
