The Mike occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1100 metres on a north east facing slope, approximately 5.3 kilometres north of the community of Merritt.

The property is located within Upper Triassic Nicola Group volcanics, volcaniclastics and interbedded sedimentary rocks. The Mike showing is covered by extensive overburden comprised of fine silt and clay underlain by massive to porphyritic andesite and andesitic agglomerate. There are narrow but persistent rhyolitic to aplitic dykes within the andesitic rocks. The Nicola Group rocks are intruded immediately to the north by Lower Jurassic Guichon Creek batholith granodiorite.

Fracture zones and weakly brecciated sections contain limonite, malachite, azurite and copper sulphides.
