The property is located west of the entrance to Harriet Harbour, between sea level and 174 metres elevation, about 71 metres from the beach.

In 1908 three claims were surveyed by owner L.T. Watson. On September 20, 1911, the Togo claim (Lot 140), was Crown-granted to Benjamin Metcalfe.

In 1914 a 5-metre shaft was sunk on a 2-metre wide section of the replacement zone by Daykin and Metcalfe, who were the owners at that time.

A magnetite replacement zone, striking east-southeast for 18 metres with a maximum width of 3.6 metres, occurs in greenstone of the Vancouver Group, Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation. The body contains abundant garnet, stringers of coarsely crystalline calcite and quartz with disseminated chalcopyrite.

A sample from a 2-metre section of the zone assayed 3 per cent copper (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1914, page 162).
