The Queen Quartz showing is located 2.75 kilometres southeast of Burnell Lake and 2.5 kilometres northwest of Oliver, British Columbia.

In 1989, Gila Bend Resources Corp. made a 50 per cent option agreement with Golden Web Resources Ltd. on the ground covering the Queen Quartz showing. Golden Web Resources Ltd. had optioned the claims covering the Queen Quartz showing from Hiburd Properties Ltd.

Regionally, the area is principally underlain by medium grained intrusive rocks that form the Jurassic Oliver plutonic complex. To the south, the complex cuts Carboniferous to Permian Kobau Group metasedimentary rocks. On its northern margin, the intrusive mass is in contact with Eocene volcanics and sediments of Penticton Group.

The geology surrounding the Queen Quartz showing area is composed almost entirely of quartz monzonite of the Oliver plutonic complex. Three distinct phases are evident. A central core of massive medium-grained garnet-muscovite quartz monzonite is surrounded by biotite-hornblende quartz monzonite north of the core and porphyritic biotite quartz monzonite to the south. Hornblende diorite occurs in several small areas to the immediate north.

The Queen Quartz showing is hosted by the hornblende-bearing porphyritic quartz monzonite phase of the Oliver plutonic complex. Fine to medium grained quartz monzonite dike swarms locally cut this unit. The area has been extensively faulted and fractured. Regional hydrothermal alteration has resulted in epidote which occurs in seams up to 2.5 centimetres in width.

In 1989, an old adit and a quartz vein was discovered. Galena and arsenopyrite comprise vein sulphides. The vein is approximately 1 metre wide with a 10-centimetre wide gouge zone along the western contact. Several samples taken from this quartz vein yielded high precious and base metal values. Sample Q1, a grab sample from dump material from an old adit, yielded 489.7 grams per tonne silver, 25.24 grams per tonne gold and 1.06 per cent lead (Assessment Report 18397). Chip sample Q3A yielded 218.5 grams per tonne silver, 14.35 grams per tonne gold and 0.25 per cent lead (Assessment Report 18397). Sample Q3C, across the eastern side of the vein, yielded 156.0 grams per tonne silver, 7.25 grams per tonne gold and 0.03 per cent lead (Assessment Report 18397). Higher values were obtained predominantly from gouge on the west side of the vein.
