The Dove occurrence is located 29 kilometres west of Uslika Lake and approximately 85 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

The showing is located within the Early Jurassic Duckling Creek Syenite Complex, one of several phases comprising the Early Jurassic-Early Cretaceous Hogem Plutonic Suite.

During the late 1960s and early 1970s this area was investigated as the Dove claims and was reported to be underlain by syenite, diorite, and monzonite. Chalcopyrite, bornite, and malachite were found to be disseminated in hornblende syenite. This occurrence may be similar to the ND showing (094C 077) located 10.5 kilometres east.

In July 1991, Varitech Resources Ltd. undertook a reconnaissance rock and soil sampling program. In early October 1991, follow-up on anomalous samples outlined by the July fieldwork was completed. In 1991, on the Haw claims, covering the same ground as the Dove, a sample of fine-grained gneissic mesosyenite or syenodiorite containing very fine-grained disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite with malachite and chalcocite assayed 0.48 per cent copper, 0.094 per cent molybdenum and 6 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 21713).
