The Icefield zone is underlain by Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group rock of the Unuk Formation intruded by Early Jurassic feldspar porphyritic monzonite.

At the Icefield zone, disseminated chalcopyrite, minor pyrite, and trace molybdenite occur in intensely silicified rocks and hydrothermal breccias similar to the Sulphurets zone. The zone appears to be positioned in the footwall of the Sulphurets fault and is likely the continuation of the Sulphurets deposit, which is still open to the northeast of its last drill hole, some 500 metres southwest of the Icefield zone.

In 2005, two holes were put down on the zone by owner Seabridge Gold. These were inclined towards each other in order to test the zone, which lies along strike of the Sulphurets zone. In hole IF-05-01, fine disseminated chalcopyrite occurs in variably silicified and brecciated rocks down to 121 metres, with grades averaging on the order of 0.2 per cent copper and 0.2 gram per tonne gold. Below this depth, there is a sharp change in mineral tenor, with copper falling and gold increasing. Hole IF-05-02 intersected a phyllic altered, mylonitized tuff below oxidized till of the same lithology. Low copper and gold grades are associated with silicification along veins, crackle breccias and hydrothermal breccias. Below a depth of 34.4 metres anomalous copper and gold values are accompanied by anomalous arsenic, lead, and zinc concentrations. A 126.0 metre drill interval assayed 0.03 per cent copper and 0.51 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 28062).

In 2012, diamond drilling yielded intercepts including 0.49 and 0.43 gram per tonne gold with 0.04 and 0.06 per cent copper over 195.2 and 237.6 metres, respectively, in hole IF-12-03 and IF-12-04 (Lechner, M.J. (2014-03-31): NI 43-101 Technical Report on Initial Deep Kerr Resource).
