The Red 36 occurrence occurs on a nunatak in the Cambria Icefield, about 21 kilometres east-southeast of Stewart.

Along the north end of Mount Andreas Vogt, in the northeastern portion of the Red 36 showing area, maroon andesitic tuffs and flows of the Middle-Upper Jurassic Hazelton Group have been weakly carbonate and sericite altered. Sericite alteration is along shear zones trending approximately 340 degrees. The alteration has resulted in the formation of sericite schists, containing up to 7 per cent fine-grained pyrite, across widths of 1-2 metres. This sericite alteration appears to be post-carbonate alteration based on the crosscutting aspect of the resultant sericite schists. Traces of malachite were noted in one of the carbonate-altered zones.

Just north of Mount Andreas Vogt, narrow carbonate zones in maroon tuffs and flows carry significant chalcopyrite mineralization. A grab sample (ERK-303) from a narrow, 2 centimetre wide quartz-carbonate vein with abundant malachite and azurite assayed 15.5 grams per tonne gold, 1.83 per cent copper and 8.2 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 23940).

In 1994, Teuton Resources Corp.conducted reconnaissance rock sampling on the Red and Pepe claims; a total of 81 samples were taken.
