The Good Hope arsenic showing occurs about 800 metres northwest of the north end of Wolf Lake.
The area is underlain primarily by basaltic lavas of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation, Vancouver Group. These rocks are mostly massive flows and pillow lavas of partly amygdaloidal basalts, with minor tuffs, volcanic breccias and agglomerates. These are overlain by sediments of the Upper Cretaceous Nanaimo Group, Comox Formation.
The showing is exposed in a dry creek bed at an elevation of 260 metres. For about 75 metres the creek follows, and has exposed, a breccia zone in andesitic rocks. This zone varies from 0.6 to 3.6 metres in width, strikes 035 degrees and appears to dip steeply to the southeast. It contains lenses and veins of calcite up to 1.8 metres in width, in which numerous shattered and angular fragments of andesite are embedded. These bodies of calcite outcrop at intervals of about 45 metres along the creek bottom and contain occasional lenticular masses of realgar. The largest exposure of this arsenic sulphide measures 1.2 metres in length with a maximum width of 23 centimetres. Tiny veinlets of arsenopyrite occur locally within the andesitic wall rock. In some instances realgar has been replaced by native arsenic. Chalcopyrite has also been observed. In 1985, the best assay from this zone was 4.9 grams per ton silver and 0.1 per cent copper over 2 metres (Assessment Report 14434).
In 1983, Lac Minerals completed a programs of prospecting and geochemical sampling on the area as the Wolf claims. In 1984, Proquest Resources completed a program of geological mapping and rock, soil and silt sampling on the area as the Lupus claims. In 1985, St. James Minerals completed a program of geochemical sampling, geological mapping and ground geophysical surveys on the Wolf claims. In 1986, Homestake Canada and Pan World Ventures completed various programs of geological mapping, rock, silt and soil sampling and a induced polarization survey. In 2005 and 2006 the area was prospected as the Wolf Lake property by Pearl Asian Mining Industries.
