The Ice (Road Zone) occurrence is located in a logging road cut on the north side of Ashlu Creek, approximately 400 metres northeast of the mouth of Coin Creek.

The area of the Ice occurrence is underlain by granodiorite of the Jurassic Cloudburst pluton of the Coast Plutonic Complex (Geological Survey of Canada Paper 90-1F). A major northwest trending shear zone of Cretaceous age, the Ashlu Creek shear zone, occurs to the immediate west.

Locally, a narrow, irregular 2 to 20 centimetre wide quartz-epidote-chlorite vein hosts pyrite mineralization. The vein is hosted in a shear zone that strikes 070 degrees and dips 40 degrees to the northwest.

In 1983, a grab sample (75506) assayed 0.84 per cent copper, 34.0 grams per tonne silver and 1.8 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 12163).

In 2009, a chip sample (751067) assayed 0.2 per cent copper, 4.43 grams per tonne gold and 34 grams per tonne silver over 0.2 metre (Assessment Report 31343).

The area has been explored in conjunction with the nearby Ice (MINFILE 092GNW047) occurrence. In 1947, Giant Mines & Metals explored the area as the M2-5 mineral claims. During 1979 through 1983, Mar-Gold Resources completed programs of geochemical sampling, geological mapping, trenching and diamond drilling. During 2009 through 2012, Ashlu Mines completed a program of rock, soil and silt sampling on the area.
