The Maid 1 occurrence is located on the southern slope of Mount Demers, approximately 2.5 kilometres southeast of Maid Lake.

The area is underlain by intrusive rocks, primarily quartz diorite and diorite, of the Paleozoic to Jurassic Westcoast Crystalline Complex.

Locally, numerous quartz veins host chalcopyrite and sphalerite mineralization exposed along 245 metres of logging road. Areas of skarn hosting sulphide mineralization, primarily magnetite and chalcopyrite, with lenses or pods of epidote occur approximately 150 metres above the veins.

In 2007, grab samples of mineralized skarn material from trench 2 assayed up to 0.60 gram per tonne gold, 8.2 grams per tonne silver, 0.21 per cent copper and greater than 1.0 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 29419).

In 2011, rock samples (11DMBG010 and 11DMAO004B) of a quartz vein hosting pyrite and sphalerite assayed 1.66 and 0.59 grams per tonne gold, 0.158 and 0.128 per cent copper, 11.7 and 9.8 grams per tonne silver and both greater than 1.0 per cent zinc, respectively (Assessment Report 33846).

During 2006 through 2012, the area was prospected and sampled as the Maid 1-2 claims.
