The Mag NNE occurrence is located a ridge separating Laluwissin and Murray creeks, at an elevation of approximately 1700 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 veins host chalcocite, azurite and malachite mineralization and limonite weathering. The veins are hosted in propylized and carbonitized andesitic rocks. Two grab samples (290987 and 290988) assayed 0.132 and 0.129 per cent copper with 3.7 and 4.5 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.
