The Gaffers occurrence is located on Parkinson Creek, above the bridge.

The area, according to Muller, is underlain by a metagreywacke schist unit and an argillite metagreywacke unit, both of the Jurassic to Cretaceous Leech River Complex (Geological Survey of Canada Open File 821). The former unit consists of metagreywacke, meta-arkose and quartz-feldspar biotite schist; the latter consists of thinly bedded greywacke and argillite, slate, phyllite and quartz-biotite schist. Felsic and granodiorite dikes have intruded both units.

Locally, a 5 centimetre quartz vein, trending east across the creek, hosts gold-bearing quartz-arsenopyrite (-pyrite) veins.

In 2001, Knott Enterprises completed a program of geological mapping and rocks sampling on the area as the Gaffers property. In 2008 through 2010, the area was prospected as part of the Juan De Fuca property of La Baron Prospecting. A rock chip sample (J677834) of vein material assayed 2.18 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 33123).
