The BP occurrence is located on a southwest facing ridge between the Malksope and Ououkinsh rivers.

The area is underlain by calcareous sediments and intermediate to felsic flows of the Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group, striking east- northeast to northeast, dipping east to southeast at 30 degrees. A medium-grained syenodiorite stock of the Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite occurs 4.0 kilometres east at the head of Kashutl Inlet.

The occurrence consists of chalcopyrite, hematite and magnetite in a shear zone in dark calcareous sediments. A quartz-eye porphyry is indicated nearby (Assessment Report 3008, Map 4).
