The DB (MPMC) occurrence is located on the south face of a hill north of the gap between Little and Prior lakes, at an elevation of approximately 1080 metres.
Regionally, the area is located within the central Quesnel Trough. The area is underlain by Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic sedimentary and mafic to felsic volcanic rocks. This sequence has been intruded by small alkalic stocks of diorite to syenite compositions. This sedimentary and volcanic assemblage is correlative with the Nicola Group.
Locally, analcitic basalt hosts 1 to 3 millimetres wide stringers of chalcocite, azurite and malachite. In 2007, a grab sample (262953) assayed 0.13 per cent copper (Assessment Report 29091).
In 2007, Mount Polley Mining completed a program of geochemical sampling and test pitting on the area as the MPMC claims.
