The Acacia South occurrence is located on the south side of a ridge separating Laluwissen and McGillivray creeks, at an elevation of approximately 1500 metres.
The area is underlain by dioritic rocks of the Triassic Mount Lytton Complex and by volcanics and volcaniclastics of the Middle and Upper Cretaceous Spences Bridge Group.
Locally, chalcopyrite, magnetite and malachite are hosted in feldspar porphyry. A picked sample assayed 12.7 grams per tonne silver and 7.16 per cent copper (Property File - D.C. Malcolm [1972-07-31]: Report on Acacia Mineral Development).
