The Cindy occurrence consists of copper mineralization immediately north of Franklyn Arm of Chilko Lake.

The Cindy area is underalin by rocks of the Lower Cretaceous Tchaikazan River succession. This unit comprises bedded andesitic and basaltic volcanic tuffs and breccias, and rhyolitic tuffs and flows with spherulitic textures (Bulletin 81; Geological Survey of Canada Open File 1163). Interbedded with the volcanics are epiclastic sedimentary rocks including quartz-rich greywacke, cherty conglomerate, minor limestone and argillite (Assessment Report 3319). Bedding strikes north-northwest and dips moderately steeply east; some rocks are foliated. A large granodioritic pluton of the Late Cretaceous to Paleocene Bendor suite is in contact about 10 kilometres to the southwest. Two Bendor suite stocks from 3 to 6 kilometres across intrude a few kilometres west and south of the Cindy occurrence.

The rocks are intruded by bodies of quartz-feldspar porphyry of possible subvolcanic origin, and reportedly by quartz diorite and granodiorite probably related to the Bendor Suite (Bulletin 81; Assessment Report 3319).

The main mineral showings occur in volcanic or limy sedimentary rocks (Bulletin 81; Assessment Reports 3319, 3949). They are gossanous due to the oxidation of pyrite and pyrrhotite which are disseminated or localized along fractures or in massive pods. Minor chalcopyrite and malachite are also present locally. The mineralization is generally associated with variably-oriented quartz or epidote-calcite veinlets. Rock samples from the mineralized zones contain anomalous silver, copper, lead, zinc and iron (Bulletin 81). One sample was analysed to contain 0.3 per cent copper and 5 grams per tonne silver. Two other samples graded 0.29 and 0.17 per cent copper, respectively (Bulletin 81).

This occurrence has been interpreted as an example of volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization (Bulletin 81).

In 1971 and 1972, exploration work was done on behalf of Shorewest Mining Co. Ltd on their Cindy group of claims. In 1971, four pits were blasted along scarp faces to expose volcanic, sedimentary and intrusive rocks which underlie the claims. Soil sampling was completed but the amount was not reported. In 1972, 88 soil samples were collected and 8.8 kilometres of ground magnetic surveying was done. Geological mapping, magnetometer and geochemical soil sample surveys of a reconnaissance nature have been carried out over the claims. Geochemical results of samples taken at 200 and 400 foot intervals indicate low background values for copper and molybdenum with only occasional erratic high copper values which are not considered significant. The magnetometer survey did not indicate any significant anomalous zones.
