The VW copper anomaly is located on the southern side of the South Sarita River and is at 360 metres in elevation, approximately 600 metres south and up-slope of the Wet occurrence (MINFILE 092C 083).

The area is underlain by intermediate to felsic volcanics of the Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group, which are intruded by a complex of porphyritic quartz monzonite, diorite, quartz diorite and feldspar porphyry correlated with the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite.

In 1991, Phelps Dodge Corporation of Canada completed a geochemical sampling program on the VW mineral claim. Soil sampling identified a 400 by 450 metre copper geochemical anomaly with values greater than 180 parts per million copper. The anomaly, reportedly, remains open to the northwest, southwest and southeast (Assessment Report 22146).
