The Angora occurrence is located at the south east corner of Clayoquot Arm, approximately 2.6 kilometres north west of Angora Lake.

The area is underlain by massive basalt of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation, Vancouver Group. These rocks are moderately sheared and fractured; quartz and carbonate veinlets are locally common and may contain pyrite plus/or minus chalcopyrite.

n 1984 and 1985, Noranda Mining and Exploration Inc. completed programs of geological mapping and rock, silt and soil sampling on the area as the Angora claims.
