The Champagne occurrence is located on a southeast facing ridge, approximately 1.2 kilometres west of Upper Quinsam Lake. The area has been explored in conjunction with the Camp Lake (MINFILE 092F 571) occurrence.

The area is underlain by basaltic volcanic rocks consisting of basaltic lava, pillow lava, breccia and tuff of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation. These have been intruded by granodiorite, quartz diorite, granite and quartz monzonite of the Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite to the east.

Locally, a quartz-epidote-sulphide stock work stringer zone is hosted by intermediate intrusives and mafic volcanics and is exposed over 35 metres in a logging road cut. In 2011, a select grab sample assayed 0.869 per cent copper and 4.14 grams per tonne silver (Samples 665023-665029; Assessment Report 32793).

In 2011 and early 2012, Compliance Energy Corporation completed a program of geochemical sampling, geological mapping and prospecting on the area as part of the Camp Lake (MINFILE 092F 571) property.
