Cockatoo Island is situated in the Buccaneer Archipelago, approximately 240km north east of Broome in Western Australia.

Access to the island is via commercial flights from Perth to Broome or Derby, followed by a charter flight, or boat, to Cockatoo Island. On the island a network of sealed and unsealed roads and tracks provide access to most areas.

The tenements are prospective for iron ore and contain numerous infrastructure elements which at various times have supported the mining operations, such as the airstrip, offices, water storage and a series of tracks that support the exploration activities. There are accommodation and other facilities on the island, however these are not owned by Buccaneer Resources and there is mobile telephone coverage on parts of the island.
