The Faith occurrence is located on the south western shore of Barkley Sound, approximately 6 kilometres east of Ucluelet.
The area is underlain by Jurassic and Cretaceous Pacific Rim Complex sedimentary rocks.
Mineralized showings occur over a 30 metre stretch of beach and consist of pyrite in tiny (1-2 millimetre) quartz veinlets and disseminations within a shear zone 18 metres wide. The shear zone strikes 350 degrees and dips 60 degrees east. Host rocks comprise chert, dolomitized limestone and some graphitic slate.
Grab samples of pyritic material from the shear zone assayed up to 7.54 grams per tonne gold (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 204, page 30).
In 1980, Umex Inc. staked the Ozz claims to cover a series of gold-arsenic geochemical anomalies (MINFILE 092C 996). From 1982 to 1983, rock and soil sampling surveys identified three anomalous zones. In 1985, two diamond drill holes were completed and in 1988, a Dighem IV airborne survey was flown over the property.
