The Pass2 West is located about 9 kilometres north-northeast of Carruthers Mountain and about 15 kilometres southeast of the confluence of Quenada Creek and the Asitka River.

The Pass2 West showing is hosted in Upper Triassic Dewar Formation (Takla Group) tuffs, sandstones and argillites. Mineralization of occurs in an area up to 1 kilometre south of the Car showing (094D 018), where several samples taken in 1998 carried elevated copper and silver. Sample 71096, about 1 kilometre southeast of the CAR, carried 0.3 per cent copper, 55.6 grams per tonne silver, and 17.6 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 26094).

A small hornblende-diorite stock occurs to the southwest of the Car showing. It is medium grained and appears to have induced the formation of quartz veins plus/minus arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and galena which occur in the Dewar Formation rocks to the north of the intrusion. Disseminated pyrite or pyrrhotite is common as well as along fracture fillings and bedding planes in sedimentary rocks and locally in igneous rocks. Concentrations up to 20 per cent have been observed generally within black shale where pyrite/pyrrhotite occurs locally as pods or beds.
