The Bouleau Creek showing is located 19 kilometres west- southwest of Vernon, on Bouleau Creek.

In this area, Devonian to Triassic sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Harper Ranch Group are unconformably overlain by Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Nicola Group sedimentary and volcanic rocks. These units are intruded by Middle Jurassic granitic rocks of the informally name Terrace Creek batholith. Eocene Coryell granitic rocks intrude and are in fault contact with the Middle Jurassic intrusions. Eocene Penticton Group volcanic rocks overlie the igneous and sedimentary rocks.

Quaternary gravels along the creek host placer gold mineralization. In 1915, hydraulic placer mining leases were granted.
