The Misty occurrence is located approximately 7.5 kilometres southwest of Aiken Lake and 98 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

Regionally, the area is underlain by calc-alkaline and fine clastic sedimentary rocks of the Upper Triassic Takla Group which have been intruded by ultramafic and gabbroic to dioritic rocks of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Aiken Lake Intrusive Complex. To the southwest and south quartz monzonitic to monzogranitic intrusive rocks of the Lower Jurassic Hogem Plutonic Suite and monzodioritic to gabbroic intrusive rocks of the Mesilinka Pluton are exposed.

At the Misty showing, hydrothermally altered volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Upper Triassic Plughat Mountain Formation (Takla Group) are cut by a carbonate vein mineralized with malachite and azurite (Fieldwork 1992).

An analysed sample of the mineralized material yielded 1.18 per cent copper, 20 grams per tonne silver and nil gold (Open File 1993-2, Map Number 22).
