The Art occurrence is located on the southwest portion of the Klastline Plateau. The area has recently been mapped on a regional scale as Upper Triassic Stuhini Group sediments intruded by dikes, sills, plugs and plutons of Early Jurassic age (Open File 1997-3). The contact of the quartz monzonite to granodiorite Groat Stock occurs about 1 kilometre to the south of where the Art 1-6 claims appear on old provincial claim maps.

The Art 1-6 claims were staked in August 1969 by Spartan Exploration. Two short holes were drilled at this time. During 1970, geological mapping and prospecting were carried out by Mitsui Mining and Smelting Co. Ltd. under a joint venture agreement. The federal National Mineral Inventory (104G/9 Cu2) reports that Spartan Explorations Ltd. returned to the area in 1973 and "apparently" restaked the now lapsed Art claim area as the Wolf claims (104G 045). However, provincial claim maps from those years show that the Art 1-6 claims were located adjacent to the northwest of the Wolf claims and about 1.5 to 2 kilometres to the northwest of where the Wolf claim mineralization occurs. (It is possible that the Art 1-6 claims were mislocated on the claim map.) The extensive Axe property was staked in 1988 covering the Wolf ground and sold in part to Ascot Resources Ltd. in 1989. Asocot explored the claims over the following two years. Although the Art showing was indicated on Ascot maps, no work was reported to have been done on it and no mention of it was made.

Little information on the occurrence is available. Copper mineralization is reported to occur in an alteration zone some 122 by 183 metres. Samples of core from two short holes 15.2 metres apart average 0.475 per cent copper (Northern Miner, December 25, 1969). These were not considered representitive values by the exploration company.
