The Myers Creek occurrence is located east of Myers Lake and south of the community of Rock Creek.
The area is underlain by the Carboniferous or older Anarchist Group and a Cretaceous/Jurassic granodiorite body. Dolomite is underlain by variably metamorphosed sediments and volcanics (schist unit) that become increasingly limy west of the dolomite. This suite is in part underlain by quartzite. A band of meta-andesite separates the schist unit and the granodiorite.
Rock chip samples collected across a gossanous shear striking 352 degrees and dipping 58 degrees east assayed up to 2.4 grams per tonne gold. The shear is hosted by chlorite-quartz-calcite schist.
In the southwest part of the property a number of pits and short tunnels are driven in quartz vein zones in granodiorite. Disseminated pyrite, locally to 30 per cent, minor chalcopyrite and malachite are found within granodiorite and quartz veins. A rock sample taken from a quartz vein with malachite staining along a selvage assayed 0.15 per cent copper (Assessment Report 23650).
