The H occurrence is located on the southern side of Redford Creek, approximately 1400 metres northeast of the past producing Brynnor Mine (MINFILE 092F 001) and 16.5 kilometres northeast of Ucluelet, B.C.

Regionally, limestone of the Upper Triassic Quatsino Formation is underlain by andesites of the Triassic Karmutsen Formation, both of the Vancouver Group. These are intruded by granodiorite of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite.

A tongue of granodiorite of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite cuts limestone of the Upper Triassic Quatsino Formation Several lenses of magnetite replace granodiorite and limestone along the north trending contact. The largest lens is 1.2 by 4.6 metres and replaces granodiorite. A few small pods of magnetite occur in limestone about 200 metres east of the contact.

In 1992, Can. Wes. Res. completed a reconnaissance program of geological mapping and geochemical sampling for high purity Quatsino limestone in the area as the Redford claim. The area was reported as containing the best combination of accessible white stone and lack of skarn or dike impurities (Assessment Report 22608).

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 H) 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.
