The Indata South occurrence is located on a gentle west facing slope, east of Albert Lake and approximately 3 kilometres west of the north west end of Indata Lake.
The area is underlain by sediments assigned to the Carbonaceous to Jurassic Cache Creek Complex and volcanic rocks similar to those of the Middle Triassic to Lower Jurassic Takla Group to the east. These groups of rocks are separated by the Pinchi fault zone, which traverses the area in a north-northwesterly direction and have been intruded by intermediate to felsic plutons and by ultramafic bodies. The oldest rock in the area is massive to well bedded, light to blue-grey Cache Creek limestone outcropping as prominent hills and bluffs. Much of the area between Albert and Indata lakes, however, is underlain by hornblende andesite flows and pyroclastics, including pillow breccia, tuff, tuff breccia and crystal lithic tuff. Small areas of dark amygdaloidal basalt flows have also been observed. Three intrusive suites have been mapped in the area. Hornblende diorite, the oldest intrusive unit, forms a pluton east of the occurrence and occurs as dikes. It is thought that this unit may be comagmatic with the volcanic rocks, as it does not intrude other rock types. Intruding both volcanic rocks and the diorite are dark green to black coloured, locally altered serpentinite (metaperidotite) and gabbroic bodies formerly assigned to the Middle Permian to Late Triassic Trembleur intrusions and now termed Mississippian to Triassic Oceanic Ultramafites. The youngest intrusive rocks in the area consist of coarse grained, light to reddish grey biotite quartz monzonite to granite.
Locally, road construction exposed a zone of silicified volcanic rocks hosting copper sulphides.
In 1998, samples are reported to have yielded from 0.39 per cent copper and 0.18 gram per tonne gold to 6.7 grams per tonne copper and 1.7 grams per tonne gold (Laird, B. L. (2018-08-06): NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Indata Project).
The area has been explored in conjunction with the nearby Indata (MINFILE 093N 192) occurrence and a completed property exploration history can be found there.
