The Pod showing is located near Forge Creek, approximately 4 kilometres northwest of its junction with Guichon Creek.

The area straddles the transitional contact zone between quartz diorite of the Hybrid phase to the east and granodiorite of the Guichon variety (Highland Valley phase) to the west. Intrusive rocks belong to the late Triassic to Middle Jurassic Guichon Creek Batholith.

Locally, a small prospect pit in quartz diorite exposes two parallel quartz veinlets, 2.5 to 5 centimetres wide, mineralized with chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite and chrysocolla. Weak disseminated pyrite is present locally.

Work History

In 1963, Valley Copper Mines completed a program of rock, silt and soil sampling, geological mapping, a ground magnetic survey, road building and bulldozer trenching on the area as the WDR claims. In 1969, Highland Valley Mines completed a program of geological mapping and an induced polarization survey on the area as the Ella claims. During 1971 through 1973, Dusty Mac Mines Ltd. completed programs of surface geological mapping, line cutting, an induced polarization survey and a ground magnetometer survey on the area as the Pod claims. In 1978, Bethlehem Copper completed a regional program of rock and soil sampling, geological mapping and a 101.0 line-kilometre induced polarization survey on the area as the TL and GC claims.

During 2014 through 2016, photogeological structural analysis programs were completed on the area as the Bertha and Toni claim groups.

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.
