The Laron occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1130 metres on an east-facing slope, west of Guichon Creek and south of Stumbles Creek.

The area lies near the southeast perimeter of the multistage Lower Jurassic Guichon Creek Batholith. The area is underlain by quartz diorite to granodiorite varieties of the Border phase, which represents the oldest rocks in the batholith.

Small amounts of disseminated bornite, chalcopyrite and native copper are reported to have been intersected in a drillhole.
