The PL occurrence is located on north west facing slopes north east of the Marble River, approximately 1 kilometres north west of Sara Lake.

The area is underlain by volcanics of Upper Triassic Vancouver Group, Karmutsen Formation. To the northeast are volcanics of the Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group.

Locally, minor amounts of chalcopyrite, bornite and malachite are present in Karmutsen Formation volcanics.

In 1968, Pine Lake Minerals completed a soil sampling program on the area as the P.L. 1-24 claims.
