The Kangaroo 2 occurrence is located on a small creek flowing into the southeastern end of Spanish Lake at an elevation of approximately 1290 metres.

Regionally, the area is underlain by Middle to Upper Triassic Nicola Group banded slates and tuffs of the Quesnel terrane, with basaltic Upper Triassic Nicola volcanics to the west and Upper Proterozoic to Paleozoic Snowshoe Group metasediments to the northwest. To the east, the Eureka thrust fault marks a major tectonic boundary between the Intermontane and Omineca belts.

Locally, black phyllites host minor gold values. In 1985, a 20 metre chip sample (WL219 to WL228) from trench 3 assayed 0.24 gram per tonne gold; including 0.34 gram per tonne over 2 metres (Assessment Report 13869).

During 1981 through 1985, E & B Explorations completed programs of rock, silt and soil sampling, prospecting, geological mapping, minor trenching and an airborne geophysical survey the area as the Wank and Kangaroo claims. Also in 1984, Mascot Gold Mines completed a geochemical sampling and geological mapping program on the area.

During 2005 through 2012, Dajin Resources Corp. conducted various programs of stream sediment and soil sampling, a helicopter-borne magnetic and electromagnetic survey and 12 diamond drill holes, totalling 2484 metres, on the area as the Addie 1 property. See the Addie 1 (MINFILE 093A 276) occurrence for more information.
