The Sky 2 occurrence is located on a easterly flowing tributary of Cous Creek, approximately 7.5 kilometres west-northwest of the creek mouth and 11 kilometres southwest of Port Alberni.
The area is underlain by limestone and shale of the Upper Triassic Quatsino Formation (Vancouver Group). This is overlain locally by volcanic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group.
Locally, outcrops of shale and limestone along the creek are reported to show copper mineralization; malachite is the only mineral described. A quartz vein up to 30 centimetres in width was observed but contained no obvious sulphides.
In 1980 through 1983, Pacific Seadrift Resources completed programs of airborne and ground geophysical surveys, geological mapping and geochemical sampling on the area. In 1985 and 1986, Amstar Venture Corporation completed programs of geochemical sampling on the Kola claims.
In 1986 and early 1987, the area was prospected by Triactor Resources as the Alder 2 claim. A sample (55633) assayed 0.753 per cent copper and 3.3 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 15037).
In late 1987 and 1988, Veto Resources completed a program of rock and soil sampling, geological mapping and a ground magnetometer survey on the area. A sample of shale with copper staining assayed 3.2 grams per tonne silver and 0.58 per cent copper (Assessment Report 17411).
In 1996 through 2006, SYMC resources prospected the area as part of the of the Macktush Property along the west side of the Alberni Inlet, now called the Dauntless property. In 2009 through 2011, G4G Resources completed programs of geological mapping and rock and soil sampling on the area as the Macktush Copper property. During 2012 through 2014, Nahminto Resources Ltd. completed exploration programs including limited prospecting, rock sampling, geological mapping and a satellite remote sensing survey and analysis on the Macktush group. A similar prospecting, geological mapping and rock sampling program was conducted on areas of the Macktush property for World Organics Inc. in 2015.
