The Pom Pom occurrence is situated near Quenville Creek, approximately 4 kilometres southeast of Logan Lake and 35 kilometres north of Merritt.

The area is underlain by grey-green and purple andesitic tuffs, flows and breccias of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group intruded by a microdiorite dike.

Locally, historical trenches are reported to expose chalcopyrite and bornite fracture-controlled mineralization in an epidote-, calcite- and hematite-altered dike.

In 1973, a sample assayed 0.17 per cent copper (Assessment Report 17337).

In 1988, a float sample with calcite veinlets and chalcocite-malachite mineralization yielded 1.755 per cent copper (Assessment Report 18048).

Work History

Historical trenches, of unknown age, are reported to have been developed on the occurrence.

In 1973, Newmont Mining Corp. staked the area as the Pom Pom claims and completed a program of geological mapping, geochemical sampling and ground magnetic and induced polarization survey on the claims.

During 1986 through 1988, Western Resources Technologies completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling and geophysical (induced polarization, electromagnetic and magnetometer) surveys on the area as the WRT claims.

In 2015, Laurence Sookochoff carried out a structural analysis and a 4.5 line-kilometre ground magnetometer survey on part of the Bertha property, approximately 3.5 kilometres to the northwest.
