The For occurrence is located 4.5 kilometres west of Tunkwa Lake and 2 kilometres south of Guichon Creek.

The area is predominantly underlain by granodiorite of the Hybrid phase of the Upper Triassic to Middle Jurassic Guichon Creek Batholith.

Locally, a small zone of chalcopyrite in a rusty quartz vein occurs in a creek bed between Forge and Guichon creeks. The vein pinches and swells over an exposed distance of 15 metres along an east-striking, 60-degree-south–dipping fault.

Work History

The occurrence has been previously trenched, probably in the 1930s and/or 1940s.

In 1969, Mastodon Highland-Bell Mines Ltd. completed a soil survey (189 samples) over the For claims and in 1970, Leitch Mines Limited conducted a geological and soil geochemical (689 samples) survey.

In 2017, an airborne magnetic survey was completed by Peter E. Walcott & Associates Limited over the area as part of the Getty property. The survey was composed of 697 line-kilometres of heliborne magnetics over two grid areas. Soil sampling was also completed on the Getty property; 504 soil samples were collected and assayed. Of these, 278 samples were collected within the Pod area, approximately 100 metres west of the For occurrence.
