The South Clear-Cut showing is located north of Hotfish Lake, approximately 2.8 kilometres north-northwest of the Hotfish Lake showing (MINFILE 092P 184).

The area is underlain by andesitic to mafic tuffs with occasional small areas of pillow lavas and volcanic breccia, and light- to dark- coloured argillites of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group. These have been intruded by quartz monzonite stocks or plugs of the Takomkane batholith.

Locally, a complex zone, 200 by 350 metres in size, contains a variety of rock types including black shale, agglomerate, and mafic tuffs. Also included are zones of pale grey, very fine grained, sulphide-rich silicate rocks. Alteration includes silica, and carbonate, with lesser hydrothermal biotite and sericite. Fracturing is abundant, tending to align in a north easterly direction.

Mineralization of pyrite and pyrrhotite occurs as disseminations, fracture fillings and coatings, and as irregular blebs with lesser amounts of chalcopyrite and bornite.

Between 1991 and 2009, the Hot claims were explored by H.J. Wahl with various programs of geological mapping, prospecting and geochemical sampling. In 1992, 15 rock samples collected within the area of alteration and mineralization gave an overall average of 353 parts per million copper, with a maximum value of 870 parts per million copper (Assessment Report 22854).
