The Morning occurrence is located on Rapid Creek in the Slocan Mining Division.

Regionally, the area lies within the Selkirk Mountains of southeastern British Columbia. The occurrence is within the Kootenay Arc, a curving belt of highly deformed metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks which includes the Upper Proterozoic Horsethief Creek Group, the Upper Proterozoic to Lower Cambrian Hamill Group, the Lower Cambrian Badshot Formation, and the Paleozoic Lardeau and Milford groups. The volcano-sedimentary sequence is intruded by numerous Paleozoic to Mesozoic granitoid plutons.

The Lardeau River area of the Selkirk Mountains is mainly underlain by massive pillow lavas, volcanic breccia and green phyllitic rocks of the Index Formation and by grey-green mica schist of the Broadview Formation. Grey phyllitic rocks and marble of the Milford Group are exposed near the edges of the Mesozoic Mobbs Creek, Rapid Creek and Poplar Creek stocks. All rocks have undergone regional metamorphism to middle or upper greenschist facies. Rocks of the Milford Group have also been affected by thermal metamorphism (Geological Survey of Canada Bulletin 193).

No geological description could be located for this past producer but it is probably in a similar geological setting as the North Star occurrence (082KSW120). Rocks in the vicinity of the occurrence are micaceous schist of the Index Formation of the Lardeau Group. Records indicate that Gold Creek Mining Company mined 3 tonnes of ore from the underground workings in 1909. This production yielded 3732 grams of silver and 1220 kilograms of lead.
