The No.2 occurrence is located approximately 100 metres southeast of Kennedy Lake, near Mount Dawley, 13 kilometres northeast of Ucluelet, B.C.

The area is underlain by an assemblage of dioritic to quartz dioritic rocks of the Paleozoic and/or Mesozoic Westcoast Complex comprise the oldest rocks in the area. Volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Upper Triassic Vancouver Group and volcanic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group also occur in the area. The youngest rocks are Tertiary volcanics and coeval quartz diorite to quartz monzonite of the Early to Middle Eocene Tofino Intrusive Suite (previously Catface Intrusions, Personal Communication - N. Massey, May 1990). Quartz diorite and granodiorite of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Intrusions have also disrupted area strata.

Locally, an area of massive magnetite occurs near the contact of limestone of the Upper Triassic Quatsino Formation and andesite of the Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group.

During 1986 through 1988, Geo. P.C. Services Inc. completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping and geochemical sampling on the area as the Dom claim. During 1995 through 2009, Consolidated Logan Mines Limited and later Logan Resources Limited, completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical sampling and an induced polarization survey on the Lucky and Redford properties.

In 2011, Logan Resources Ltd. and joint venture partner Ridgemont Iron Ore Corp. conducted ground geophysics (including No. 2) and drilling over the Redford property. The 2011 Ridgemont diamond drill program, east of Draw Creek and the Brynnor Pit, consisted of 61 holes totalling 10, 234.58 metres utilizing 29 drill pads. The program coverage was categorized into three zones: the Main, East and North zones. The drill results from the East zone confirmed that magnetite mineralization was similar in strike and dip to that found in the Main zone.
