The Stamp River occurrence is located west of the Stamp River, approximately 600 metres north east of Great Central Lake.

The area is underlain by brecciated tuffaceous basalt of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation Vancouver Group.

Locally, a 4 metre wide linear zone, trending 085 to 090 degrees for about 50 metres, contains drusy quartz, massive quartz, limonite, siderite, ankerite and minor chalcopyrite, bornite and malachite. In 1987, rock samples assayed from 0.006 to 0.39 per cent copper (Assessment Report 16239).

In 1986, Corporation Falconbridge Copper geologists conducted a one day property examination on the claims. In 1987, Dellaterra Resources Ltd. optioned the claims and completed a program of geological mapping, geochemical analyses of stream sediments, soils and rock, and geophysical testing by magnetometer, VLF-EM and Induced Polarization. In 1989 and 1991, S.T.S. Resources explored the area. In 2012, a program of prospecting and rock sampling was completed on the area as the Old Joe property.
