The Easter 1 occurrence is located east of Draw Creek, approximately 1.3 kilometres south 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.

Locally, a quartz vein hosts greater than 5 per cent pyrite mineralization. In 2008, a sample of vein material assayed 571 parts per billion gold (Sample 830346) and a sample of mafic wallrock above the vein, (sample 830348), assayed 1490 parts per billion gold (Assessment Report 30357).

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. The Easter 1 occurrence was discovered in 2008.

In 2011, Logan Resources Ltd. and joint venture partner Ridgemont Iron Ore Corp. conducted ground geophysics (including Easter 1) 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.
