The Aurizon occurrences are located on low lands south of the Quinsam River and west of the lower Iron River. The area has been explored in conjunction with the nearby Iron River (MINFILE 092F 076) developed prospect.

The area is underlain by massive and amygdaloidal basalt of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation and overlain by limestone of the Upper Triassic Quatsino Formation, both of the Vancouver Group. These are intruded by quartz diorite of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite. Overlying these rocks are sandstone, conglomerate, shale and coal of the Upper Cretaceous Comox Formation (Nanaimo Group).

Locally, three mineralized zones (magnetite highs) have been identified; two of which are reported have surface exposures of greater than 100 metres. The volcanic hosted mineralization and alteration is described as patchy and irregular, containing variable epidotization, with fine- to medium-grained magnetite and visible garnet, malachite and pyrite. In 1996, rock samples yielded up to 0.23 gram per tonne gold, 12 grams per tonne silver, 12.9 per cent iron and greater than 1 per cent copper (Assessment Report 30123).

In 1995 and 1996, Aurizon Mines completed programs of prospecting, rock sampling and a ground electromagnetic survey on the area. In 2008, Crazy Horse Resources, on the behalf of Madman Mining Company, completed an airborne magnetic/electromagnetic survey on the area as the Mag claims.
