The Elk copper showing is located a few kilometres southwest of Alta Lake near the township of Whistler and may be accessed from logging roads in the area.

The property occurs within steep terrane of the Pacific Ranges and is underlain mainly by granodiorite and quartz diorite of the Jurassic to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex and Lower Cretaceous metavolcanic rocks of the Gambier Group. The supracrustal rocks have been strongly sheared and foliated, with the dominant foliation trending to the northwest.

Mineralization comprises chalcopyrite, pyrite and minor molybdenite within host metavolcanic rocks and massive to strongly foliated intrusive rocks. The style of mineralization appears to be porphyry-type with modification resulting from later deformation.
