The Lucky claims were located 5 kilometres south of Clinton, east of Highway 97 and southeast of Three Mile Lake.

The northeastern portion of the claims is underalin by Permian to Triassic rocks of the Cache Creek Complex consisting of marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks (basic volcanic flows, tuff, ribbon chert, limestone and argillite). GSC Map 1278A (Memoir 363) shows the rest of the claims to be underlain by Jurassic sedimenary rocks (shale and grit).

Geology Exploration and Mining (1971, page 331) reports that "chlcopyrite occurs in Cache Creek metamorphic rocks".

Assessment report 3330 describes assessment work by Imperial Oil Enterprises Limited which included a soil sampling survey on the claims (1696 samples analysed for copper and molybdenum).
