The Orca property is located approximately 35 kilometres east of Dease Lake.

The property covers 65 square kilometres centred on a 15 kilometre long package of upper Mississippian to Permian ultramafic rocks of the Cache Creek Complex.

The mineralized zone of disseminated awaruite, a naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy, is exposed along the top and northeast flank of a northwest-trending ridge. The mineralization begins on the flank at an elevation of 1300 metres and extends more than 700 metres to the summit, which reaches 2020 metres in elevation. The awaruite mineralization at Orca is hosted in fine grained, serpentinized peridotite, with minor dikes or pods of dunite.

First Point Minerals Corp. reported an average assay from 118 rock samples of 0.113 per cent nickel, 5.4 per cent iron and 0.2 per cent chromium. The surface samples range in value from 0.06 per cent to 0.21 per cent nickel and contain common to abundant, fine to coarse grains of disseminated awaruite ranging in size from 0.05 to 0.3 millimetres (Press Release - First Point Minerals Corp., October 11, 2012).
