The Shulaps copper prospect is located 3 kilometres east- southeast of Liza Lake. Bornite, chalcopyrite and malachite occur as disseminations and stockwork within greenstone and gabbro (informally known as the East Liza Igneous Suite) now tentatively correlated with the Permian Bralorne Igneous Complex, but formerly assigned to the Upper Triassic Cadwallader Group, Pioneer Formation. The showing is exposed over a length of 2.4 metres and a width of 0.4 metre, and is estimated to contain 3 per cent copper (Property File - Lapex Syndicate report, 1963).
