The Copper Queen North (Zone 13) occurrences is located on a west facing slope of White Ridge, at an elevation of 810 metres and approximately 2 kilometres north of Kulan Lake.
The area is underlain by Upper Triassic Vancouver Group rocks consisting of Karmutsen Formation basalts overlain by Quatsino Formation limestone. These are intruded by the Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite consisting dominantly of quartz diorite with lesser diorite and granodiorite. A number of skarn showings are scattered within all three major rock units and at their contacts. Several of the skarns within the Karmutsen basalts are conformable, occupying highly amygdaloidal flow tops.
The zone 13 skarn consists of a magnetite-garnet hosting pyrite and chalcopyrite over an area of 5 by 50 metres. A sample (13801) assayed 1.35 per cent copper, 230 grams per tonne silver and 1.75 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 8037).
In 1963, Mastodon-Highland completed a program of geological mapping and a ground magnetometer survey on the area as the Gam claims. During 1973 through 1977, W. Babkirk prospected the area as the Donner and Heber claims. In 1978, Mont Alta Projects Ltd. completed a program of rock sampling and ground geophysical surveys on the area as the Donner Lake property. In 1979, CON-AM Resources optioned the property and completed a program of geological mapping, rock sampling and a ground magnetometer survey.
