The MC showing is located in the Norton Creek drainage, south of Norton Pond, in the Cariboo Region, approximately 29 kilometres east-northeast of Quesnel.

The area of the MC claims is regionally underlain by Triassic argillaceous sediments and felsic volcanics of the Nicola Group. Felsic tuffs are commonly deeply weathered and hydrothermally altered and surrounded by black argillite. Gabbroic dikes intrude the argillite in the Toop pit, approximately 1.4 kilometres to the northwest of the MC occurrence.

In late 1984, the MC claims were optioned to Mary Creek Resources Ltd. In 1985, this company carried out exploration work that included VLF and magnetometer surveying along with geological mapping and prospecting over 60 line-kilometers of grid that was established. Mary Creek purchased the adjacent claims in 1985 and then amalgamated to form Pundata Gold Corporation. They then carried out an Induced Polarization survey followed by rotary drilling and minor diamond drilling in 1985-1986 along with access road construction and further gridding. In early 1986, a pulse EM survey was conducted. In June 1986 a further program of diamond drilling was undertaken by Pundata on the MC 1 and MC 2 Claims following which the claims were returned to M. Roed.

During 1986, Maske Creek Resources Corp. drilled a cable tool hole south of Coldspring Lake on the MC 1 claim which contributed to the geology of the area.

Four reverse circulation rotary drill holes were attempted along Vermillion channel in the northern part of the MC 2 claim in the fall of 1988, by Redbird Gold Corp. Due to drilling problems only one hole (MC-2) was successfully completed. In the same year, core from 1986 Pundata diamond drill holes D4, D13, D14, D15, D16, Dl7 and Dl8 were re-examined by Redbird. In drill hole D16, the interval from 53 to 53.6 metres is reported to have assayed 1.02 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 18328). Core from Hole D4 was petrographically analyzed in 1988 and a particle of native gold was found in a sample of felsic lithic tuff at 23.8 metres (Assessment Report 18328). Pyrite was also observed. Particulate gold occurs over a length of 58 metres in drill hole D4. Documents and/or assay sheets for the described work were not published.

The MC area (Yank claims) was prospected and soil and rock sampled by R. Hegel in 2014 and 2015 with limited results.
