The Blue Jay occurrence is located approximately 1.3 kilometres south west of Anderson Lake.

The area is underlain by intermediate to mafic basalts, volcanic tuffs and associated breccias, all of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation, Vancouver Group. The basalt is typically fine grained and porphyritic and contains abundant thin quartz stringers.

Locally, small, erratic high-grade occurrences of chalcopyrite lenses are exposed in Karmutsen Formation volcanics in association with steeply dipping shear zones. These volcanics are described as brown to grey, gently dipping rocks cut by porphyry dikes. Pyrite is also present.

In 1966, Crown Zellerback exposed the mineralization during road construction. In 1967 and 1968, Mt. Washington Copper Co. Ltd. completed programs of geological mapping, soil sampling and an induced polarization survey on the area as the Litchie property.
