The Den occurrence is located approximately 1.0 kilometre north of Twentyfour Mile Lake and 300 metres northeast of Highway 97C.

The area lies within Bethlehem phase and Guichon variety (Highland Valley phase) quartz diorite of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Guichon Creek Batholith. The intrusive rocks are locally faulted and sheared and contain small aplite and/or quartz porphyry dikes.

Locally, weakly disseminated bornite occurs in and along northeast joints in a quartz diorite.

Work History

In 1966, geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys were conducted by Adera Mining Ltd. In 1968, an induced polarization survey was carried out on behalf of Adera Mining Ltd. In 1972 and 1973, geological mapping, geochemical, magnetic and induced polarization surveys, 1402 metres of drill access roads and nine percussion drill holes, totalling 841 metres, were completed on behalf of Grandora Explorations Ltd. (formerly Adera Mining Ltd.). In 1984, Acheron Resources Ltd. drilled one percussion drill hole on the property.

In 2020, Peter E. Walcott & Associates Limited carried out a review of historical induced polarization data taken from portions of the Getty property. No interpretations are presented because the work is part of a detailed compilation that was still ongoing at the time of writing.
