The Catface NE occurrence is located east of the Cypre River, approximately 9.2 kilometres northeast of the river mouth and approximately 22 kilometres north-northeast of Tofino, B.C.

The area is underlain primarily by meta-volcanic and metasedimentary rocks of the Paleozoic Sicker Group. These are overlain by limestone of the Upper Pennsylvanian to Lower Permian Buttle Lake Group, which in turn are overlain by basalts of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group). See Bedingfield 18 (MINFILE 092F 227), for a more comprehensive geologic description.

Locally, andesite or basalt with quartz stringers and chlorite alteration hosts disseminated pyrite and fracture-controlled pyrite with chalcopyrite and bornite. In 2011, a rock sample (535053) assayed 0.702 per cent copper, 0.290 per cent nickel and 0.147 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 32940).

In 2010 and 2011, Catface Copper Mines completed programs of rock, silt and soil sampling on a large area of the Bedingfield Peninsula, known as the Catface NE property. Follow-up sampling was done in 2012 within areas of the upper Cypre River drainage deemed prospective for Cu-Mo ± Au porphyry mineralization similar to that at the Catface deposit to the southwest. Malachite staining was observed higher up on the cliff face in one area of interest, but sampling it was not possible. A sample was taken at the bottom of the cliff face (1965403) and contained interested albeit not economic concentrations of copper (230.3 ppm Cu).
