The CY 1 occurrence is situated southeast of Treble Mountain near the head of Sutton Glacier, about 23 kilometres southeast of Stewart.
The showing area is underlain by Middle-Upper Jurassic volcanics of the Hazelton Group intruded by Eocene Coast Plutonic Complex intrusive rocks. The volcanics are mainly pyroclastic fragmental rocks in contact with dark green to grey and purple hornblende and feldspar phyric rocks. South of the phyric unit are undivided volcanic and subordinate epiclastic rocks. The volcanic rocks appear to be strongly chloritized with local strong patchy epidote. The intrusive rocks are medium to dark grey, medium grained, equigranular quartz monzonite; commonly epidotized and chloritized.
Mineralization on the property appears to be related to zones of shearing and/or the emplacement of intrusive dikes. Pyrite +/-arsenopyrite+/-chalcopyrite occur within shears with a predominant direction at approximately 320 degrees. Sparse galena and sphalerite also occur within rusty intrusive dikes. Numerous rock samples throughout the area are highly anomalous in gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc. Rock sample LVL-CY1-142 analysed 56 grams per tonne gold, 670.4 grams per tonne silver and greater than 1 per cent copper (Assessment Report 24831).
In 1996, an exploration program conducted on behalf of Levelland Energy and Resources Ltd. consisted of reconnaissance geochemical sampling; a total of 534 rock samples were collected.
