The Flame occurrence is situated in the Swannell Ranges (Omineca Mountains), approximately 27 kilometres north-northwest of Old Hogem and 63 kilometres north-northeast of Takla Landing.

The area is underlain by mesozonal plutonic rocks assigned to the Early Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Hogem Plutonic Suite which have been emplaced into volcanic rocks of the Middle Triassic-Lower Jurassic Takla Group, east of the Pinchi fault zone. The plutonic rocks form an elongate batholith, extending from Chuchi Lake north to the Mesilinka River. The structural setting of the batholith and the intruded Takla Group is one of vertical tectonics associated with graben development (Bulletin 70).

Garnett (1978) shows the area as being entirely underlain by foliated migmatitic syenite of the Duckling Creek Syenite Complex, an Early Jurassic phase of the Hogem Plutonic Suite.

Reports detailing work carried out in 1974 describe local chalcopyrite, bornite and molybdenite mineralization erratically distributed in outcrop throughout the area. No recent information concerning this occurrence is available.

During 2005 through 2007, Lysander Minerals Corp. completed programs of silt and rock sampling, geological mapping and an airborne electromagnetic/resistivity survey on the area as apart of the Pinchi project. In 2012, Tajiri Resource Corp. conducted a helicopter supported property-wide reconnaissance geochemical investigation of their OGK property which covers the Hogem Copper (094C 050), Rem (094C 097) and Flame showings. A total of 68 rock, 112 stream sediment and 383 soil samples were collected and submitted for assay. A helicopter supported airborne geophysical survey consisting of magnetics, VLF/EM and radiometric surveys over four blocks totalling 505 line kilometres was also completed.
