The Skutz Falls limestone occurrence is located 4.5 kilometres south of the falls on the Cowichan River, 19 kilometres west-southwest of Duncan.

The area is underlain by a Paleozoic shallow marine sedimentary package of mixed sediments (mudstone, argillite, siltstone and greywacke) that is capped by massive and crinoidal limesteon with intrusive of feldspar porphyry and dacite. Sediments trend north west - south east, dipping steeply south west.

Locally, the area contains cavernous, crinoidal and massive limestone pods of the Upper Pennsylvannian to Lower Permian Mount Mark Formation, Buttle Lake Group (previously Buttle Lake Formation, Sicker Group).

In 1984, Noranda Mining and Exploration completed a program of geochemical sampling and geological mapping on the area as the Skutz 1 claim.
