The Ira 6 occurrence is located 2.7 kilometres west of the shoreline of Surprise Lake, near its north end, about 31 kilometres northeast of the community of Atlin.

Zeunerite occurs in fine-grained alaskite of the Late Cretaceous Surprise Lake batholith (Surprise Lake Plutonic Suite) and is assumed to occur as veins.

The Uranium Reconnaissance Program sponsored by the federal and provincial governments released multi-element geochemical data on Map Sheet NTS 104N on June 15, 1978. This data showed, among other things, that the creeks draining the Mount Edmund area towards the north end of Surprise Lake carried anomalous values for uranium and fluorine in water, and uranium in silt. In 1978, Seraphim Engineering Limited on behalf of Malabar Mines Ltd., carried out geological and geochemical studies for uranium on sections of the I.R.A. claims and the immediate surrounding area. This program involved prospecting with geiger counters, air photo mapping, collection of silt and soil samples, and detailed geologic and geochemical surveys over about 21.5 line kilometres of grid.

In 2006, Aldershot Resources Ltd. carried out a spectral analysis program on an area covering several occurrences (D & D (104N 108), Ira 6, Mistake (104N 107), Ira (104N 110), Ira 5 (104N 088) and Pato 1 (104N 106)). The program involved acquisition of satellite spectral data available from NASA, reconfiguring this data into a workable format, geo-referencing to TRIM map bases and extensive and rigorous classification of the data in search of indicators that might lead to the discovery of uranium mineralization.

In 2021, an airborne SkyTEM survey was conducted by Stuhini Exploration on the Ruby Creek property, which revealed a number of regional trends across the property.
