The Den 76 occurrence is located 4 kilometres southwest of Bose Hill and 3.8 kilometres northeast of Twentyfour Mile Lake.

The occurrence area is located 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, scattered grains of bornite with malachite occurs along tight, steep northeast joints in 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 drilling access roads and nine percussion drill holes, totalling 841 metres were completed on behalf of Grandora Explorations Ltd. (formerly Adera Mining Ltd.).

In 2015, Peter E. Walcott & Associates Limited completed an inversion and 3D modelling of historical induced polarization survey data to model subsurface chargeability anomalies and a regional compilation of magnetics and gravity anomalies over the Getty property.

In 2017, Getty Copper Inc. carried out 36 line-kilometres of gravitational surveys and 79 line-kilometre of ground magnetic survey over the Getty West and Getty North portions of the Getty property.
