The Park 14 showing is located about 60 kilometres south of Burns Lake on the south shore of Cheslatta Lake.

In 1988, VLF-EM and geochemistry surveys were completed on the Park claims by Geotronics Surveys Ltd. for International Pacific Cypress Minerals.

The region in which the Cheslatta Lake showing occurs is within the Intermontane Belt, underlain dominantly by Lower to Middle Jurassic volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Hazelton Group. These assemblages are overlain by the Upper Cretaceous to Lower Tertiary Ootsa Lake Group and Miocene plateau basalt. Intruding Lower Jurassic rocks of the Hazelton Group in the northeastern part of the map sheet is a belt of granodiorite, diorite and quartz diorite plutons of the Lower Jurassic Topley intrusive suite. Felsic plutons of probable Cretaceous age intrude both Lower and Middle Jurassic Hazelton strata.

The claims are dominantly underlain by rocks of the Ootsa Lake Group. These comprise felsic to intermediate flows and tuffs. A selected grab sample of brecciated ash tuff/banded rhyolite assayed 0.0656 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 18979). No sulphides were identified.
