The Little Lake (LL) occurrence is located between Little Lake and Morehead Creeks, approximately 58 kilometres northeast of Williams Lake. Access is via the Likely Road, which leaves Highway 97 at 150 Mile House and passes through the claim group at Morehead Lake. Logging roads provide good access to the southern part of the property and several dirt roads leading to placer workings traverse the central and northern parts.
The property is underlain by Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Nicola Group. These rocks have been intruded by comagnatic alkalic stocks and dike complexes. Structurally, the rocks form a homoclinal sequence striking northwest and dipping moderately to the northeast. Massive maroon basaltic breccia underlies the southwest corner of the claim group and is intruded by a small syenite stock on Morehead Hill east of the Likely road. Near the top of this unit lies a sedimentary sequence consisting of felsic to intermediate feldspathic tuff and/or sandstone, grit and conglomerate. Lenses of massive limestone are exposed within this sequence south of Morehead Lake and north of Jackpine Lake.
Locally, as defined by drilling (hole LL-85-4), the area consists of maroon basaltic breccia that has been weakly silicified and/or carbonate-altered with varying amounts of quartz vein material over an approximately 400 metre wide area. Pyrite is rare to non-existent. Other drill holes intersected medium- grained, light pink to hematite-stained monzonite. Disseminated pyrite is occasionally observed in the monzonite, usually in association with quartz veining.
In 1985, two 1.5 metre intersections from drill hole LL-85-4 yielded gold values of 0.68 gram per tonne and 0.33 gram per tonne, while another drill hole (LL-85-2) intersected 9.1 metres yielding 0.104 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 14401).
In 2011, a former adit was identified near the creek bottom. It occurs near a zone of 10 to 30 centimetre wide iron-carbonate altered fractures with minor quartz veins.
In 1981, following the release of government stream sediment survey data, three claim groups were staked in the area now occupied by the LL claims but no work was recorded and the ground became open in 1982. In October 1982, E & B Explorations Inc. located the Little Lake claims. In 1984, Grand Canyon Resources Ltd. optioned the property and conducted a geochemical survey, collecting 900 soil samples from seven separate grids totalling 59.5 line kilometres. A magnetometer and VLF-EM survey was undertaken over 27.3 kilometres of grid lines. A previously completed program, in 1985, for Golden Lake Explorations Ltd. consisted of the collection of 602 soil samples from 4 separate grid areas covering 33.25 line-kilometres and a VLF-EM and magnetometer ground geophysical survey over 58.5 kilometres. Geological mapping was also undertaken during this program. In 1985, Golden Lake Explorations Ltd. upgraded 2465 metres of existing road and built 595 metres of new road, and completed six reverse circulation-drill holes totalling 434.9 metres. In 1997, Big Valley Resources completed a program of soil sampling and diamond drilling, totalling 641.1 metres in three holes, on the area as the Calm claims. During 2011 through 2013, Fjordland Exploration in conjunction with Serengeti Resources completed programs of prospecting and soil sampling the area as the Mount Polly 1 property. In 2014, Barkerville Resources completed an airborne LIDAR survey on the area as part of the QR property.
