The Keap Creek North occurrence is located on a ridge to the east of Keap Creek, approximately 2.1 kilometres south-southeast of its creek mouth on Kleanza Creek, and 26 kilometres east of terrace, B.C.

The area is underlain by conglomerate, andesite breccia and lapilli tuff of the Upper Triassic Lower Telkwa Formation (Hazelton Group). These have been intruded by granites and granodiorites of the Early Jurassic Kleanza Plutonic Suite.

Locally, volcanic rocks host chalcopyrite, bornite and possible tetrahedrite mineralization.

In 2010, a sample (KC 21-10) assayed 3.22 grams per tonne gold and 40.7 grams per tonne silver. Two other samples (KC 22-10 and KC 23-10) from the same site assayed 0.490 and 0.765 per cent copper, respectively (Assessment Report 31853).

During 2008 through 2013, Casa Minerals Inc. completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical (rock and soil) sampling and ground magnetometer surveys on the area as the Pitman property. In 2014, Abcana Capital Inc. entered into an agreement with Casa Minerals to acquire the Pitman property. During 2015 through 2017, Abcana and Casa Minerals completed programs of prospecting, reconnaissance geological mapping, and soil and rock sampling on the Pitman property.

In 2018 Casa Minerals had a structural analysis completed on the Keaper property using newly available satellite imagery, and in addition, 43 rock samples and 319 soil samples were collected from the Keaper Creek North area. Copper-in-rock values are in a broad range from near negligible to grater than 0.2 per cent up to 1.5 per cent. Zinc values are uniformly low, up to 172 ppm. Copper minerals occurs in weak disseminations and massive to semi-massive vein-like bands in volcaniclastic and intrusive (granodiorite) host rocks and as weakly expressed green copper “paint” (Assessment Report 37452).

In 2019 a total of 273 line-kilometres of EM (VTEM) was flown over the expanded Keaper property (Assessment Report 39057).
