The Goldie 2 tufa occurrence is located 2.3 kilometres south east of Susan Lake, approximately 27 kilometres northwest of Golden. In 2001, Inland Coral (Tufa) Inc. staked the claims after an employee discovered the showing.
Regionally, the area is underlain by the Proterozoic Hamill Group and Cambrian McKay Group.
Locally, the tufa is light tan to yellowish in colour, is commonly quite porous and generally competent. Small twigs and branches that became carbonate coaled have created an interlaced pattern where the original organic material has decayed, tube-like structures are evident. Some tufa boulders also contain botroyoidal patches of denser banded travertine.
In 2001, prospecting identified tufa occurring over a length of 575 metres with widths ranging between 25 and 125 metres. The tufa is reported to narrow sharply to the south, and terminates near the confluence of two steep, narrow dry gullies. At this point, there is a small spring that is precipitating calcium carbonate. The tufa widens out considerably to the north where the creek valley broadens (Assessment Report 26669).
