The Head occurrence is located on the north side of Ring Creek, approximately 10 kilometres east-northeast of Squamish.

The area is underlain by Late Jurassic dioritic intrusive rocks and basaltic volcanics of the Pliocene to Holocene Garibaldi Group.

Locally, a chloritized and epidotized diorite hosts several small, approximately 1- centimetre wide, quartz veins containing chalcopyrite, malachite and tetrahedrite. No assays were reported.

In 1979, the A.U. Syndicate prospected the area as the Head claims.
