The Soda Lake copper occurrence is located one kilometre north of Soda Lake and nine kilometres southeast of the village of Lac La Hache. It is 2 kilometres east of Highway 97.

There is little information on the geology of the claims, however Geological Survey of Canada Map 1278A shows the area to be underlain by the Upper triassic to Lower Jurassic Nicola Group which consists of altered andesitic volcanic rocks and sedimentary rocks. Alkaline plateau basalts of the Miocene to Pleistocene Chilcotin Group are exposed immediately west of the claims. There is little information about the occurrence, however Assessment Report 10572 reports that fine grained volcanic flows and breccias of the Nicola Group are locally flooded with epidote and cut by calcite veining and that some of the altered outcrops contains "fine grained pyrite and chalcopyrite which locally become Massive". Assessment Report 11390 describes propylitic (chlorite) and carbonate alteration of the Nicola volcanic rocks and pyrite and chalcopyrite as veins and disseminations in propylitically altered rock.

The earliest recorded work on the property was by Anaconda American Brass in 1970 (Assessment report 2684) on the Soda Group of claims when induced polarisation surveys were completed. Anaconda allowed all but the Soda 51 ot 54 claims to lapse and the Bridget 1 claim (20 units) was staked over the Soda claims by Mr. Rudolf M. Durfield. In 1982, Mr. Durfield completed a program of prospecting and soil geochemical sampling (89 samples analysed for copper, lead, zinc, silver, arsenic, gold and antimony - Assessment Report 10572). In 1983, Mr. Durfield collected additional soil samples (Assessment Report 11390).
