The RM occurrence is located south of Forge Creek, approximately 1 kilometre southeast of its junction with Guichon Creek.

The area lies near the northwest-trending contact between Upper Triassic Nicola Group volcanic rocks in the east and intrusive rocks of the Upper Triassic to Middle Jurassic Guichon Creek Batholith to the west.

Locally, disseminated copper mineralization (inferred to be chalcopyrite) occurs in altered quartz diorite of the Hybrid phase of the Guichon Creek Batholith. Similar mineralization is reported on the Red claims to the southwest.

Work History

In 1963, Valley Copper Mines completed a program of rock, silt and soil sampling, geological mapping, a ground magnetic survey, road building and bulldozer trenching on the area as the WDR claims. During 1967 through 1969, Alwin Mining Company completed soil sampling and an aeromagnetic survey on the area as the Dab, HJ and RM claims. In 1969, Highland Valley Mines completed a program of geological mapping and an induced polarization survey on the area as the Ella claims. In 1971, Alwin Mining completed a ground magnetometer survey. In 1973, Comet Industries completed ground electromagnetic surveys on the Blue, Red and BCD claims, located approximately 2 kilometres to the southwest. The following year, nine percussion drill holes, totalling 762.0 metres, were completed by Comet Industries. In 1978, Bethlehem Copper completed a regional program of rock and soil sampling, geological mapping and a 101.0 line-kilometre induced polarization survey on the area as the TL and GC claims.

In 2007, Kerrisdale Mining prospected and soil sampled the area as the Kerrisdale 1 claim. A photogeological review was completed in 2010. In 2011 and 2012, Crestwell Resources completed programs of prospecting and a 1.1 line-kilometre ground magnetic survey on the area. During 2014 through 2016, photogeological structural analysis programs were completed on the area as the Bertha and Toni claim groups.

In 2017, an airborne magnetic survey was completed by Peter E. Walcott & Associates Limited over the area as part of the Getty property. The survey was composed of 697 line-kilometres of heliborne magnetics divided into two grid areas. Soil sampling was also completed on the Getty property; 504 soil samples were collected and assayed. Of these, 278 samples were collected within the Pod area, 200 metres west of the RM occurrence.
