The Mag North occurrence is located on a south facing ridge top separating Laluwissin and Murray creeks, at an elevation of approximately 1850 metres.

The area is underlain by andesitic rocks of the Lower Cretaceous Pimainus Formation (Spences Bridge Group).

Locally, a series of 5 to 40 centimetre wide, north-northeast trending, sub-parallel quartz-carbonate-adularia veins host chalcocite, azurite and malachite mineralization and limonite weathering. The veins are hosted in a 300 metre wide zone of propylized and carbonitized andesitic rocks. A grab sample (290993) assayed 0.677 per cent copper and 3.7 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 28166).

In 2006, Midland Recording Services completed a program of geochemical sampling, geological mapping and prospecting on the area as the Mag claims. In 2007, Strongbow Explorations completed a program of geochemical sampling and airborne geophysical surveys on the area.
