The MAC (STAN or Skull) showings are located 20 kilometres north-northeast of 100 mile house, and are accesible via the Highway 97 and the 111 Mile Creek road (Assessment Report 24457).

The area is underlain by quartz dioritic intrusive rocks of the Triassic to Jurassic Takomkane Batholith which intrudes andesitic volcanic and sedimentary strata of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group. Chalcopyrite and molybdenite are reported (Assessment Reports 4993 and 24457) to occur associated with fractures in intrusive rock. However no location or specific information is avalible on the occurrences.

The earliest recorded work was in 1969, when Canway Explorations Limited completed soil geochemical sampling (310 samples) and induced polarization surveys (21.0 kilometres) on the Mac, Stan and Skull claims. In 1971, two or more trenches were excavated to test the induced polarization anomalies. In 1972 and 1973, nine percussion holes totalling 398 metres were drilled on the property (Geology Exploration and Mining 1972, page 324; Geology Exploration and Mining 1973, page 279). This was followed by more detailed induced polarization surveys in 1974. In 1996, Guardian Enterprises Limited completed a program of rock chip geochemical (15 samples) and soil sampling (5 samples) on the SMS claim group in the same area. In 2010 and 2011, Fjordland Exploration Inc. completed programs, including prospecting, geological mapping, soil sampling and induced polarization surveys on the as the Canim property.
