The CC group of claims is located on the north side of Jumble Mountain, 80 kilometres north east of Bella Coola.

The region is underlain mainly by the Paleozoic to Tertiary Coast Plutonic complex consisting predominantly of crystalline rocks which exhibit a variety of fabrics ranging from pre-to post- kinematic. Paragneisses of (?)Paleozoic age, younger deformed metasediments and volcanics related to the Stikinia Terrane are interspersed within the plutonic complex. The northeastern part of the Bella Coola map area is underlain primarily by mafic volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Jurassic Hazelton Group. These rocks are variably deformed containing both northeast and northwest trending structures.

The CC showing consists of chalcopyrite, pyrite and specularite with minor bornite as small pods, blebs and lenses occurring in fractures that cut the andesitic and basaltic rocks of the Hazelton Group. The mineralization had been mapped, by 1970, discontinuously over an area of 150 metres by 4.5 metres and may be related to felsic intrusions which occur a short distance to the east of the showing.

The CC 1-6 claims were held in 1968 by Kerr Addison Mines. Work included geological mapping, a self-potential survey, and trenching. The claims were cancelled prior to January 1974.
