The Boyes 1 occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 310 metres on a north-northeast–facing slope, southwest of the Adam River and approximately 3 kilometres west of the west end of Keta Lake.

The area to the west of the Adam River is mainly underlain mainly by the upper part of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation, comprising mainly thick massive flows with local intercalations of amygdaloidal basalt and pods of autoclastic breccias, pillowed and massive flows with thin intercalations of volcaniclastic and limy sandstones, all cut by thin dolerite/gabbro sills.

Locally, chalcopyrite and malachite are hosted in vertical fractures within a fine-grained basalt.

In 1991, a rock sample (AR91-JR8) assayed 0.759 per cent copper (Assessment Report 22409).
