The Evelyn copper prospect is a volcanic redbed deposit occurring in basalt of the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Formation. Native copper occurs in small amounts in calcite plus/minus epidote-quartz veins, in thin calcite veins with minor quartz and in fracture-controlled disseminations.

The copper occurrence was discovered by Steve Fournier and Wesley Lychak in 2009. They recorded five mineral claims and did some prospecting and 155 metres of diamond drilling in four holes that year. In 2010 they recorded an additional claim and drilled a total of 145 metres in two diamond drill holes. The core logged totalled 247.5 metres.

The core has not been assayed, but one outcrop grab and five short sawn core samples were collected by the owners and analysed. The grab sample results exceeded the upper copper detection limit of the method (10,000 parts per million (1 per cent)) and assayed 23 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 31949).
