The Keogh occurrence is located south of the Keogh River, approximately 2 kilometres north of Keogh Lake.

The region is largely underlain by Upper Triassic volcanic rocks of the Vancouver Group, Karmutsen Formation. Tertiary volcanics are present to the west while Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group volcanics and sediments occur to the northeast.

Locally, a mafic dike (possibly Tertiary) intrudes Karmutsen andesite. Quartz-filled shears in the andesite contain minor disseminated pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. Nickel values and molybdenite are reported to be present (Assessment Report 2240).

The area was originally staked in 1969 by J. Walkton and a program of geophysical surveys was completed on the Keogh and Walt claims. In 2008, M. Schau completed a program of prospecting, with reported rock sampling results being only low values other than anomalous mercury values (Assessment Report 30077).
