The Tiny occurrence is located north of McKay Cove, approximately 300 metres north- north east of the community of Kyuquot.
The region is underlain by volcanic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group. These consist of an assemblage of grey-green fine-grained andesite, fine to medium-grained tuff and agglomerate with fragments ranging from 3 to 30 centimetres set in a fine-grained grey/green matrix, show weak chlorite and epidote alteration on fractures. Quartz-eyes and veinlets occur in tuff and agglomerate. Pyrite occurs locally as disseminations and 1 centimetre fracture fillings.
Locally, on the Tiny 6 claim, copper mineralization occurs as chalcopyrite, bornite, malachite and azurite in association with a fault striking 035 degrees and dipping 86 degrees east. Fracturing at the occurrence is in sets striking 030 to 035 degrees, dipping 60 degrees west and striking 110 degrees dipping near vertically. In 1973, a chip sample over 10 metres assayed 1.34 per cent copper (Assessment Report 4600).
In 1973, Pechiney Development and Dowa Mining completed a program of geological mapping, soil sampling, trenching and a ground magnetometer survey.
