The Tel 1 occurrence is located approximately 1.5 kilometres west of the southern 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 dykes 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 33- centimetre wide, oxidized quartz vein hosts silver and gold values. In 1983, a grab sample (61928) assayed 7.9 grams per tonne silver and 1.1 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 11925).

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