The Mowglie 4 occurrence is located east of the Pacific Rim Highway, approximately 800 metres south-southwest of Draw Lake and 17 kilometres northeast of Ucluelet, B.C.

The area is underlain by Karmutsen Formation basalts and Quatsino Formation limestones both of the Upper Triassic Vancouver Group. These rocks are intruded by small quartz diorite to leucoquartz monzonite stocks of the Early to Middle Eocene Tofino Intrusive Suite, and by mafic to intermediate Tertiary dikes.

A narrow rusty fracture in granodiorite contains pyrite and a trace of malachite. A sample of this material assayed 7 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 9646). Small fractures and shears in the area were reported to assay anomalous in gold and/or base metals.

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.

In 2011, Logan Resources Ltd. and joint venture partner Ridgemont Iron Ore Corp. conducted ground geophysics (including Mowgli 4) and drilling over the Redford property. The 2011 Ridgemont diamond drill program, east of Draw Creek and the Brynnor Pit, consisted of 61 holes totalling 10, 234.58 metres utilizing 29 drill pads. The program coverage was categorized into three zones: the Main, East and North zones. The drill results from the East zone confirmed that magnetite mineralization was similar in strike and dip to that found in the Main zone.
