The Haha Creek occurrence is located in a canyon on Haha Creek, approximately 2 kilometres upstream from its confluence with the Osilinka River, about 53 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

Chalcopyrite, malachite, pyrite, and limonite are hosted within a shear zone in a medium- to coarse-grained, pink to orange syenite of the Early Jurassic Duckling Creek Syenite Complex, one of several phases comprising the Early Jurassic Hogem Plutonic Suite. This vertical shear zone, parallel to Haha Creek, strikes 020 degrees. Also reported in the canyon on Haha Creek are small quartz veins in sheared quartz diorite containing "a little free gold".

In 2018, a grab sample (18047) near the showing of a magnetite-pyrite vein with minor chalcopyrite, malachite and azurite assayed 0.47 per cent copper and 0.057 gram per tonne gold. A rock sample (18277) about 100 metres south of sample 18047 assayed 2.09 per cent copper and 0.023 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 37830).

In 2018, prospecting and rock sampling was conducted on the Haha Creek property on behalf of D.K. Bragg. The work was performed in one main area in the canyon of lower Haha Creek; a total of 136 samples were collected and analyzed.
