The Lux copper occurrence is located in the western head waters of Forge Creek, approximately 1.5 kilometres northeast of Bose Hill. The Getty North deposit (MINFILE 092INE038) is 2 kilometres to the west.

The showings occur in north- trending shear/fault zones in Guichon variety granodiorite of the Late Triassic-Middle Jurassic Guichon Creek batholith. The granodiorite is typically altered near the shear zones and contains spotty amounts of chalcopyrite, pyrite, malachite, azurite and occasional bornite. Alteration consists of potassium feldspar enrichment with epidote and argillic alteration occurring on fracture planes.

A chloritic shear zone on the surface was tested by diamond drilling and was intersected at depth containing disseminated native copper, chalcopyrite and chrysocolla. A 0.2 metre drill intersection assayed 2.2 per cent copper and 4.1 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 12838).

The showing had various owners in the late 1950s and early 1960s, but no serious exploration programs were conducted until Canzac Mines Ltd. took ownership in 1964. By early 1965, Canzac was very active with road building, trenching, geophysics and diamond drilling; eight holes were drilled totalling 1280 metres. Much of this work was concentrated in what corresponds to the northwest portion of the Lux claim group. In 1966, a geological report was made based on photogeology and previous work, by Chew-Walker Associates. In 1968 to 1969, Burlington Mines Ltd. completed 22 kilometres of ground EM-16 surveys and 457 metres of trenching on the Burl claims. In 1982, Goldrich Resources Inc. acquired the current Lux claims and in 1983 conducted a soil survey (49 samples), prospecting and geological mapping and established a grid. In 1984, Goldrich Resources completed two diamond drill holes totalling 244 metres.

In 1995 and 1996, Getty Copper Corp. conducted a large-scale exploration program on the Getty property which consists of Getty North, (092INE038; historically known as the Krain deposit), Getty South, (092INE043; historically known as the Trojan/South Seas deposit) and Getty West (MINFILE 092INW040; historically known as the Transvaal deposit). As part of this program a soil and stream sediment survey covered the area, eight diamond drill holes, totalling 2330 metres, were completed and an induced polarization and ground magnetic survey was conducted. In 2005, Getty Copper Corp. completed a program of geological mapping and an induced polarization survey, totalling 193.5 line-kilometres, on the area as a part of the Getty Copper property. In 2011, a ground magnetic survey, totalling 19.2 line-kilometres, and an induced polarization survey, totalling 23.2 line-kilometres, were completed on the area.
