The Cam 2 occurrence is located southwest of Cambridge Creek at an elevation of approximately 880 metres and 3.2 kilometres northwest of Violin Lake.
Regionally, the area is underlain by augite-phyric lapilli tuff, pyroclastics and flows of the Lower Jurassic Elise Formation (Rossland Group), which have been intruded by quartz monzonitic rocks of the Early Jurassic Rossland Plutonic Suite, granodioritic rocks of the Middle Jurassic Nelson Batholith, granitic rocks of the Eocene Sheppard Intrusions and syenitic to monzonitic rocks of the Eocene Coryell Plutonic Suite.
The area is underlain primarily by monzonite of the Early Jurassic Rossland Plutonic Suite near its contact with basaltic volcanic rocks and sediments of the Lower Jurassic Elise Formation. The monzonites have been chlorite- and epidote-altered. Pulaskite dikes are reported to occur in the area of the occurrence. The rocks are traversed by numerous faults. The major regional fault, Violin Lake fault, traverses the rocks paralleling Cambridge Creek.
Locally, a fine-grained quartz vein, striking north 40 degrees east and dipping vertically, hosts disseminated to massive arsenopyrite and pyrite mineralization. An old trench had been excavated on the showing and pyrrhotite, malachite and chalcopyrite were noted on dump material. The exposed mineralization terminates against a 10-metre wide pulaskite dike. West of the dike minor pods of massive arsenopyrite with magnetite are hosted within a fine-grained silicified volcanic or altered monzonite(?).
Approximately 50 metres to the southwest and on strike with the previous vein, another pit exposes a siliceous zone or vein(?) with up to 50 per cent arsenopyrite. The mineralized zone has been exposed for approximately 8 metres along strike before being terminated by two north-south–trending and parallel pulaskite dikes.
In 1986, a sample (6242) of the mineralized vein across 0.6 metre assayed 4.10 grams per tonne gold and 20.5 grams per tonne silver, while a second sample (6243) across 1.4 metres of vein and wallrock with disseminated sulphides assayed 1.0 gram per tonne gold and 3.1 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Reports 15457 and 18310). Also at this time, a sample (6244) from the southwestern pit yielded 2.7 grams per tonne gold and 7.9 grams per tonne silver over 1.5 metres (Assessment Report 18310).
In 1988, a sample from the mineralized zone west of the pulaskite dike yielded 17.1 grams per tonne gold over 0.15 metre (Assessment Report 18310).
In 2006, three samples (RP-61 to -63) from former workings yielded from 2.463 to 10.506 grams per tonne gold with 0.027 to greater than 1 per cent copper (Assessment Report 28996).
The area has been explored since the late 1800s and/or early 1900s, with a shaft, adit and trench dating to this period. In 1948, Valley Mining Co. completed a program of geological mapping and a 10.0 line-kilometre self-potential survey on the area.
During 1984 through 1989, Inland Au-Ag Resources Ltd. completed programs of geological mapping, prospecting, geochemical sampling, trenching and ground magnetic surveys on the area as the Cam 1-3 and Nobus claims. Also, in 1987 and 1988, Tobex Resources completed a program of geochemical sampling and a 113.0 line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey on the surrounding area as the Gold Dust and Decoy claims.
In 2006, Klondike Gold Corp. completed a program of soil sampling, geological mapping, 20.3 line-kilometres of ground geophysical surveys and a 317.8 line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey on the area as the Red Point property.
