The occurrence is located on southeast-facing slopes near the south western end of Jewel Lake.

The area is underlain by a complex of metamorphic rocks, mostly of sedimentary and volcanic origin correlative with the Carboniferous or older Knob Hill Group, and a large granodiorite intrusion correlative to the Juro-Cretaceous Nelson Plutonic Rocks. Small dikes and sill-like bodies, feeders to nearby Tertiary lavas, pervade these units. Four north- striking and one northwest- striking quartz fissure-vein structures are known in the Jewel Lake camp, all of which have received some development.

Locally, a banded chalcedonic quartz vein hosting pyrite and hematite has been identified by trenching. A grab sample assayed 20.8 grams per tonne gold and 115.6 grams per tonne silver (Property File - W.W. Cummings [1986-07-17]: Report on the Tel 2 Mineral Claim). In 1988, a diamond drill hole (No.7) intersected 0.5 metre yielding 0.48 gram per tonne gold and 3.8 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 17579).

During 1983 through 1988, Glendale and Blackmist resources explored the area as the Tel 1-2 claims.
