The Kettle Pot occurrence is located along a small, southeast-flowing creek, referred to as Kettle Pot Creek, approximately 1.2 kilometres northwest of the northeastern end of Quatse Lake.

Regionally, the area is underlain by northwest-trending belts of basaltic volcanics and carbonate sedimentary rocks of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen and Quatsino formations (Vancouver Group) and mafic volcanics and sediments of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group (Holberg volcanic unit, Nahwitti River wacke and Parson Bay Formation). These volcanic and sedimentary rocks have been intruded by granodioritic rocks of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite.

Locally, skarn zones have been developed between two thin limestone horizons hosting massive sulphide (pyrite-chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite-magnetite) mineralization up to 0.3 metre thick.

In 1995, sampling of mineralized blasted(?) boulders next to the skarn zone yielded up to 1.18 per cent copper and 0.63 gram per tonne gold (Sample 28169; Assessment Report 25408).

The area has been explored since the early 1920s in conjunction with the nearby Caledonia (MINFILE 092L 061) occurrence.

In 1981, Energex Minerals Ltd. completed an airborne electromagnetic survey on the area as the Pick claims. In 1988, a 390.0 line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey was completed on the area. In 1989, Hisway Resources Corp. prospected the area and completed a single drillhole, totalling 152.9 metres, on the area.

During 1993 through 1997, Winfield Resources Ltd. completed programs of soil and rock sampling, geological mapping, ground geophysical surveys and two diamond drill holes on the area.

In 2016, the area was prospected by Tech-X Resources Ltd.
