The Katt claims are located on the western side of Stokke Creek, approximately 6 kilometres north of its outlet at Harrison Lake. The property has been explored since its discovery in 2001 by the Pacific Coast Nickel Corporation.

Regionally, the area consists of an ultramafic complex of hypersthene diorite and quartz diorites, norites and ultramafic rocks, termed the Pacific Nickel Complex, which intrudes schists and earlier intrusive rocks.

Locally, the property is underlain by pyroxenite containing heavily disseminated to patchy pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite mineralization. This is believed to be the origin of boulders found on the property that returned assays of 2.0 to 2.8 per cent nickel and 1.5 to 5.0 per cent copper with significant values in cobalt, platinum and palladium (Property File - International Peruminas Resources Ltd. (2004): Press Releases - Katt; Property File - Pacific Coast Nickel Corp. (2005): Information Sheet - Katt).

In 2001, Paul Metcalf performed bedrock sampling on the property yielding up 0.50 per cent nickel, 0.4 per cent copper and 0.035 per cent cobalt (Property File - International Peruminas Resources Ltd. (2004): Press Releases - Katt).
