The Bud 524 showing is 2.4 kilometres northeast of August Lake and 7 kilometres east-southeast of Princeton.

This area along the west flank of the Darcy Mountains is underlain to the west by volcanics and related sediments of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group and to the east by granodiorite of the Early Jurassic Bromley batholith.

A pit exposes a zone of massive pyrite with patches of chalcopyrite in granodiorite of the Bromley batholith. A grab sample of this massive sulphide mineralization contained 0.248 per cent copper, 0.005 gram per tonne gold and 1.9 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 12736, Appendix, page 13).
