The Pandora occurrence is located on a north-facing slope overlooking Juene Creek, at an elevation of approximately 400 metres.
The area is underlain by basalts, andesites, dacites and rhyodacites of the Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group which have been intruded by granodiorites of the Lower to Middle Jurassic Victoria Lake Pluton.
Locally, veins in argillic altered fault gauge and felsic tuff host base metal and silver values. No further information was provided.
In 2013, two grab samples (16653 and 16654) assayed greater than 100 and 31.8 grams per tonne silver, 0.45 and 0.033 per cent lead and 0.025 and 0.139 per cent zinc, respectively (Assessment Report 34295). Another sample (16658), taken approximately 125 metres to the east-southeast, assayed 2.5 grams per tonne silver, 0.192 per cent lead and 0.657 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 34295).
