The Red zone showing is located approximately 16 kilometres northeast of the community of Lac La Hache.

The area is underlain by the west-central portion of the Quesnel trough, an Upper Triassic-Jurassic volcanic island arc sequence intruded by high-level coeval dikes and stocks of gabbro, diorite, monzonite and locally syenite. These rocks are in contact to the east with the composite Takomkane batholith, approximately 193 million years in age; Eocene to Miocene volcanic rocks crosscut and overlie portions of the older rocks.

Locally, fracture-controlled sericite, chlorite, epidote, calcite and magnetite-hematite alteration is associated with chalcopyrite and pyrite mineralization within volcanic and intrusive breccia.

The area of the Red claims was explored between 1988 and 1993 by airborne and ground geophysical surveys, soil, silt and rock geochemistry, trenching and minor geological mapping. From 1997 to 2001, Norian Resources Corporation performed a program of line cutting, soil sampling and two diamond drill holes on the property. In 2005, geochemical sampling and geological mapping was performed by Standard Metals Exploration Ltd.

In the 1980s, chip sampling returned 5 metres grading 0.25 per cent copper and 5 metres grading 0.11 per cent copper (Assessment Report 25434).

In 1998, drilling intercepted a fractured zone containing chalcocite and native copper and accompanied by intense hematite and sericite-clay alteration. Native copper concentrations of up to 2 per cent copper occur over 1 to 5-centimetre intervals locally. A 1.5 metre sample returned 0.17 per cent copper (Assessment Report 25844).

In 2001, two rock samples returned up to 0.56 per cent copper, 10.8 grams per tonne silver, 10 grams per tonne gold and 4 parts per billion palladium (Assessment Report 26825).

In 2005, a new zone of copper, 4 by 5 metres wide within a 200 by 200-metre soil anomaly, was identified a few hundred metres to the northeast of the former drill sites. Locally, subparallel, east-west–trending, moderate to steeply dipping lenses, 0.5 to 1 centimetre in size, contain massive chalcopyrite, bornite and malachite. A sample of this material assayed 2.54 per cent copper and 12.8 grams per tonne silver over 1 metre (Assessment Report 28093).

In 2008, GWR Resources Ltd. optioned the property and completed an induced polarization and magnetic geophysical survey covering 11 line-kilometres. In 2012, David Blann completed an Ah horizon soil geochemical survey consisting of collection and analysis of 58 samples from the Red property.

In 2015, a gravity survey was completed on the area which identifying two new and previously unexplored target areas. In 2017, a 641 line-kilometre airborne high-resolution gravimetric and magnetic gradient survey was completed on the area.

During 2018 through 2021, EnGold Mines Ltd. completed programs of prospecting, soil sampling, diamond drilling and a geophysical survey on the area as part of the Lac La Hache property.
