The H-Spot and Pond zones are located approximately 1.5 kilometres northwest of Lindquist Lake and 49.5 kilometres southeast of the community of Kemano and are part of the Deer Horn property.

Regionally, the area is located in the Intermontane Belt and is underlain by greenstone and greenschist metamorphic rocks of the Upper Paleozoic to Middle Jurrasic Gamsby Complex which have been thrust over sedimentary and volcanic strata of the Lower Cretaceous Skeena Group and calc-alkaline volcanic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Telkwa Formation (Hazelton Group). The volcanic and sedimentary units have been intruded by quartz dioritic rocks of the Middle Jurassic Trapper Plutonic Suite and undivided intrusive rocks of the Eocene Coast Plutonic Complex(?).

Mineralization at the H-Spot showing consists of coarse aggregates of pyrite and bands and patches of intergrown magnetite-chalcopyrite in a potassic-altered granodiorite.

Mineralization at the Pond zone consists of coarse blebs and knots of pyrite and traces of chalcopyrite and molybdenite in propylitic and potassic-altered diorite. The H-Spot showing is located 200 metres north of Pond.

In 2012, Deer Horn Metals Inc. discovered the H-Spot and Pond zones while doing helicopter-supported prospecting located and by tracing a train of rusty boulders that was observed from the ridge crest west of Lindquist Peak. The H-Spot and Pond zones were considered to be new discoveries of porphyry-style copper plus/minus silver mineralization and associated alteration.

Channel sampling at the H-Spot showing assayed 6.6 grams per tonne silver and 0.424 per cent copper over 0.86 metre (Press Release, Deer Horn Metals Inc., January 16, 2013).
