The Wave 2 anomaly is located on an unnamed tributary of Quilchena Creek, approximately 4.5 kilometres southwest of Pattinson Lake.

The area is underlain by granitic rocks of the Jurassic Pennask batholith and basaltic volcanics of the Triassic Nicola Group.

Locally, mineralized quartz vein float was found and contain disseminated pyrite and limonite with occasional specks of chalcopyrite, galena or sphalerite.

Between 1986 and 1995, Fairfield Minerals explored the area and completed a program of wide-spaced grid soil sampling. The Wave 1 and 2 claims were staked to cover areas of mineralized quartz float and coincidental soil and stream anomalies. In 1991, samples of mineralized vein float, up to 0.20 metres in diameter, returned up to 25.7 parts per million silver, 1732 parts per million lead and 2107 parts per million zinc (Assessment Report 22864). Recently, the area has been explored by Sookochoff Consultants as a part of the Toni property.
