The Ozz gold-arsenic anomaly is located on Mount Ozzard, approximately 5 kilometres northeast of the community of Ucluelet.

The area is underlain by the Mesozoic-Paleozoic Westcoast Complex comprised of diorite and quartz diorite intrusive rocks with minor metavolcanics and metasediments of the Jurassic Bonanza Group.

Locally, a number of strongly sheared and altered zones occur in conjunction with gold-arsenic geochemical anomalies and geophysical anomalies.

In 1980, Umex Inc. staked the Ozz claims to cover a series of gold-arsenic geochemical anomalies. 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. In 1991, Granges Inc. optioned the property and continued geochemical and geophysical surveys on the identified anomalies.
