The EK occurrence is located at 1250 metres elevation, 5 kilometres southeast of Bridesville, British Columbia.

The oldest rocks in the vicinity of the EK occurrence belong to the Permian to Carboniferous Kobau and Anarchist groups. Amphibolite, greenstone, quartzite, chert, chlorite schist and minor marble comprise the Kobau Group and amphibolite, greenstone, quartz chlorite schist, quartz biotite schist and minor serpentinized peridotite comprise lithologies of the Anarchist Group. Penticton Group lithologies outcrop to the east while Middle Jurassic porphyritic granite, granodiorite and monzonite intrusions are found to the immediate north. Smaller plugs, dikes and sills of biotite granodiorite, quartz diorite and granite of Middle Jurassic to Cretaceous age intrude the Anarchist Group rocks.

The area is mainly underlain by schists and volcanic rocks of the Anarchist Group. The general trend of the units is northwest to west, with dips of 30 to 55 degrees to the northeast. Very fine grained quartzite crops out in an en echelon series over several small knolls covering an area about 200 by 100 metres. The surrounding rocks are mainly phyllitic slate, however, siliceous bands and, less commonly, fine grained, massive, greenish grey volcanic rocks are also present.

Some diamond drilling was done on the occurrence in 1966 and 1967. Quartz from a 28-metre diamond-drill hole was analysed. A 20 metre core sample yielded 99.5 per cent SiO2 with some erratic iron, calcium and aluminum. Two chip samples collected by the Geological Survey Branch in 1982 yielded 99.0 and 99.9 weight per cent silica (Open File 1987-15, page 22).

ProAm Explorations Corp. drilled the property in 1999.
