The Cypre 1 occurrence is located in the Bedingfield Range, approximately 3.9 kilometres north-northwest of Quait Bay and 18 kilometres north-northeast of Tofino, B.C.

The area is underlain primarily by meta-volcanic and metasedimentary rocks of the Paleozoic Sicker Group. These are overlain by limestone of the Upper Pennsylvanian to Lower Permian Buttle Lake Group, which in turn are overlain by basalts of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation, Vancouver Group. See Bedingfield 18 (092F 227), for a more comprehensive geologic description.

Locally, sphalerite is reported to occur in dacitic rock near the summit of a Bedingfield Range Mountain (Assessment Report 15152, Plate 3). No other details of the showing were recorded.

Two quartz stockwork showings are reported to occur on the southeastern flank of the Bedingfield Range containing polymetallic mineralization and pyrite (Assessment Report 14500, page 5).

In 1986 and 1987, Cominco completed programs of geological mapping, rock sampling and ground electromagnetic surveys on the area as the Bedingfield and Cypre 1 claims. In 1989 and 1990, Falconbridge completed programs of geological mapping, rock sampling and airborne and ground geophysical surveys on the area. In 2010, 2011 and 2012, Catface Copper Mines Limited completed programs of rock, silt and soil sampling on their large Catface NE property in the Cypre River area.
