The Ski 2 showing is 500 metres west-northwest of the north end of Kennedy Lake and 13 kilometres southwest of Princeton.

This area between Whipsaw Creek and Kennedy Lake is underlain by calcareous siltstone and sandstone, conglomerate, andesite, andesitic tuff and volcanic breccia of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group.

An outcrop of massive, light greenish grey, plagioclase augite porphyritic andesite is irregularly mineralized with trace to 2 per cent pyrrhotite and traces of chalcopyrite. The outcrop is 80 metres long and up to 40 metres wide.

In 1968 and 1969, Noranda completed magnetometer and induced polarization surveys on the Axe claims which identified two anomalous zones. In 1970 and 1971, Newmont completed programs of geological mapping and geochemical sampling on the Axe and Ski claims.

During 2007 through 2009, Canadian international Minerals Inc. examined the area as the Copper Mountain property. Exploration work included programs of limited prospecting and sampling and an airborne magnetometer and electromagnetic survey.
