The IND occurrence is located on the north side of Witches Brook, approximately 8.5 kilometres southwest of Logan Lake.

The area is underlain by quartz diorite (Guichon variety) of the late Triassic-Middle Jurassic Guichon Creek Batholith which is cut in places by finer dike rocks correlated with the Witches Brook phase of the batholith.

Locally, drilling indicates a medium- to coarse-grained, grey, Guichon variety quartz diorite to granodiorite, with 15 to 20 per cent biotite and hornblende. This rock is intruded by a quartz-feldspar porphyritic dike, which is weakly mineralized with bornite. Alteration mineralogy consists of chlorite, epidote, sericite and carbonates and is strongest in fault zones.

In 1956 and 1957, Cardiff Mining completed programs of soil sampling and ground magnetic surveys on the area as the Alpha and Scotty claims. In 1971, Alakon Metals completed a program of soil sampling and geological mapping on the area as the Roy claims. In 1994, Highland Valley Copper completed an 87.1 line-kilometre induced polarization survey on the area.
