The Joy 94 occurrence is located about 70 kilometres southeast of the community of Dease Lake.

Numerous copper showings occur in massive green andesite, part of an Upper Triassic-Lower Jurassic sequence of marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks; a few showings occur in a Lower Jurassic pyroclastic sequence.

One showing is described as minor chalcopyrite occurring in hairline fractures associated with a white coloured, cherty rock. A severely fractured and epidotized tuff hosting fifteen centimetres of oxidized material containing chalcopyrite yielded trace gold, 17.14 grams per tonne silver and 5.70 per cent copper (Property File - Gifford, 1969).

In 1969 and 1971, Bowser Resources conducted geological mapping, airborne magnetic surveys and rock sampling.

In 2014, on behalf of Garibaldi Resources Corp., stream sediment geochemistry (20 samples) and airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys (331 line kilometres) were carried out over their large MSM property claims which covers the Joy 94 showing area. As well, satellite imagery was used to produce a lineament map of the property, which was compared to geological, geochemical and geophysical data to help define favourable areas for mineral exploration.
