The Xen 2 occurrence is located on the south eastern side of Tranquil Creek, approximately 5.75 kilometres northeast of the creek mouth.

The Tofino Inlet Pluton, of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite or the Mesozoic and/or Paleozoic Westcoast Complex, intrudes Paleozoic Sicker Group rocks. The plutonic rocks consist of quartz diorite and granodiorite. The Sicker rocks include volcanic breccias, tuffs, greenstone, greenschist and dikes and sills of andesite porphyry. The plutonic and volcanic rocks are transected by northeast trending faults.

Locally, a 0.75 metre wide quartz vein with blebs and disseminations of pyrite is hosted by a meta-andesite. The vein is steeply dipping with an east- west strike and can be traced over 600 metres. A sample of the vein assayed 0.56 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 13543).

In 1984 and 1985, Xenium Resources Inc. completed programs of geological mapping and rock, silt and soil sampling on the area as the Xen 1 and Xen 2 claims.
