The Wildcat occurrence is located in the head-waters of Mercantile Creek, approximately 4 kilometres south west of Maggie Lake.

The area is underlain by the Mesozoic- Paleozoic Westcoast Complex comprising diorite and quartz diorite intrusive rocks with minor metavolcanics and metasediments.

Locally, a mineralized outcrop contains some magnetite, pyrrhotite and pyrite.

In 1961, Gulf Equip. completed a magnetometer survey over the area of the outcrop established an anomaly less than 30 metres in length which was localized by a fault contact with a lens of sulphide (Assessment Report 354).

During 1986 through 1988, Geo. P.C. Services Inc. completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping and geochemical sampling on the area as the Tert 3 claim, Dom Group. In 1988, Umex Inc. completed a Dighem IV airborne survey on the area as apart of the Ozzard property. During 1995 through 2009, Consolidated Logan Mines Limited and later Logan Resources Limited, completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical sampling and an induced polarization survey on the Lucky and Redford properties.
