The South 1 occurrence is located on the western side of Drinkwater Creek, approximately 1.9 kilometres west of Love Lake.

The area is underlain by cherty argillite and tuff of the Paleozoic Sicker Group. The sediments and volcanics are overlain by limestone of the Permian to Pennsylvanian Azure Lake Formation, Buttle Lake Group. A large granodiorite stock of the Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite is located approximately 2 to 4 kilometres to the east. Andesite and basalt dikes in the area are related to volcanic activity that postdates the limestone. Locally, the quartz diorite dikes and stocks are related to the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite. Hybrid rocks are common, and there is evidence of granitization in the area southwest of Love Lake. A regional, northwest- trending fault extends from Bedwell Lake through Love Lake.

Locally, slicken-slide argillite and minor andesite host pyrite mineralization with anomalous copper values.

In 1987, the area was explored by Cream Silver Mines as the Stan claims. One sample from the zone returned 1425 parts per million copper (Assessment Report 16496).
