The Creek occurrence is located on Cous Creek, approximately 14 kilometres southwest of Port Alberni.

The area is underlain by andesite and andesite-dacite volcanic flows of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation, Vancouver Group.

Locally, mineralization is found within a deformed massive amygdaloidal flow of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation, Vancouver Group. The amygdules are filled with pyrite, chalcopyrite or bornite.

The Creek claim was staked in 1983 by Trans Arctic Explorations and explored in conjunction with the Kola occurrence to the northeast (MINFILE 092F 103).

During 2012 through 2014, Nahminto Resources completed exploration programs including limited prospecting, rock sampling, geological mapping and a satellite remote sensing survey and analysis on the Macktush group. A sample from a 0.1-metre-thick skarn zone in the MC1-3 area yielded 9.5 per cent copper, 90 grams per tonne silver and 6.6 grams per tonne gold (Houle, J. (2015-07-30): 2015 Technical Report on the Macktush Property). A similar prospecting, geological mapping and rock sampling program was conducted on areas of the Macktush property for World Organics Inc. in 2015.
