The Copper 9 occurrence is located on Red Creek, a small east- flowing tributary of Thunder Creek, at an elevation of approximately 1800 metres.

The area is underlain mainly by intrusive rocks of the Lord Pluton, an Early Tertiary intrusive complex of the Coast Plutonic Complex. Locally, Pleistocene volcanic rocks of the Garibaldi Group overlie the pluton. The dominant rock types include quartz monzonite, biotite granodiorite and quartz diorite with minor amounts of gabbro, hornblendite and intrusive breccia. Dykes of aplite, andesite, feldspar porphyry and gabbro also cut older intrusive rocks.

Locally, a gossanous zone hosts chalcopyrite mineralization.

In 2005, a rock sample (164666) assayed 2.35 per cent copper (Assessment Report 31388).

The area was originally explored by Cominco in the 1930’s. During 2005 through 2012, programs of prospecting, geochemical sampling, trenching and an induced polarization survey were completed on the area as the Copper 1-25 claims.
