The Wolf occurrence is located about 42 kilometres southeast of the community of Dease Lake.
The showing occurs in an area mapped as part of an Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic unit which includes grey and maroon plagioclase porphyry, andesite, volcanic conglomerate, tuffaceous mudstone, breccia, rhyolite, minor siltstone and shale. On the property, the rocks are described as finely bedded basalt and andesite tuffs, breccias and flows. At least three porphyritic diorite dikes, the largest being 12 metres wide, cut the strata.
The main copper showing consists of chalcopyrite, pyrite and minor bornite, along with malachite, azurite and limonite, generally with quartz in a series of stringers in fractured basalt. These stringers are associated with a strong shear zone located 150 metres southwest of a small lake. The shear zone strikes 030 and dips steeply, as do the stringers. The mineralized area is at least 46 by 46 metres in size. A parallel shear zone about 300 metres to the east shows less copper mineralization and is only 6 metres wide. In 1972, chip sampling across the main zone showed the copper content to be much less than 0.5 per cent across 38 metres (Assessment Report 4498).
Diorite dikes show similar copper mineralization along fracture faces near contacts. Numerous small quartz veins are scattered throughout the area and may show a little bornite and chalcocite. These veins are typically several centimetres in width and strike northwest.
In 1972, copper mineralization was discovered on the northeast side of Glacial Mountain by K. Lovang while prospecting for El Paso Mining and Milling Company. Eighteen claims, Wolf 1-18, were subsequently staked to cover the showings and their assumed projection to the northeast and northwest. In 1972, El Paso Mining and Milling conducted geological mapping and a geochemical survey (297 soils collected).
