Minor malachite and bornite is found in small calcite lenses in red breccias of the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group (either basal Nilkitkwa Formation or Upper Telkwa Formation). Lower Cretaceous to Eocene plugs and stocks intrude the volcanics nearby.

In 2012, exploration of the Clore property by Liaoning Eden Venture Investments Ltd involved a multi-sensor airborne geophysical survey and a stream silt sampling and prospecting program and a follow-up survey for the stream geochemistry where 85 silt samples were collected and 2 rock samples. The airborne program consisted of 357.7 line-kilometres of electromagnetic, magnetic and radiometric surveying. Both programs were conducted in conjunction with surveys on claim blocks held by Liaoning along the upper Zymoetz River (Zymoetz and Blackberry) and at Hoult Creek. The Clore property contained the Sal (093L 055), Hope Peak (093L 173) and GSC 1971-6 (093L 174) showings which were covered by the airborne survey.

In 2012, several grab samples were collected during the stream silt survey and during the follow-up work by Liaoning Eden. Two rock samples are indicated on geochemical maps at the Hope Peak MINFILE location (Assessment Report 33592).
