The Paquet occurrence is located on Paquet Creek, approximately 1.9 kilometres southwest of the creek mouth of Wolf Lake.

The area is underlain by sedimentary rocks of the Comox Formation (Nanaimo Group). These have been intruded by quartz dioritic intrusives of the Eocene to Oligocene Mount Washington Plutonic Suite.

Locally, a prominent fault zone lies on the south west contact of a large dacite porphyry intrusive and Karmutsen basalt. The fault strikes 110 degrees and dips 55 degrees south west. The zone is marked by gouge and sheared rock in a seam, 0.35 metre thick, which is veined with carbonate and realgar veinlets and averages several per cent realgar. The fault zone contains minor disseminated pyrite and local grey quartz lenses containing realgar. Veins of massive coarse crystalline realgar range up to 2 centimetres thick. In 1992, a sample (D92-09) of the zone yielded greater than 1 per cent antimony (Assessment Report 22807).

A small, parallel, pyrite-realgar bearing carbonate-quartz vein, 2 to 5 centimetres thick, is hosted in the footwall of the fault. In 1989, a sample of the vein and footwall yielded 2.35 grams per tonne gold, 18.4 grams per tonne silver, 0.3 per cent copper, 0.2 per cent lead, 0.8 per cent zinc and 0.5 per cent antimony (Assessment Report 19081). In 1992, a 2 metre sample yielded 1.8 grams per tonne silver and 0.58 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 22807).

A 1 to 10 centimetre wide calcite-realgar vein is exposed in a cliff face, 100 metres below the main showing and below a landslide. The vein strikes 180 degrees and dips 80 degrees to the south.

During 1986 through 1993, Westmin Resources completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical sampling and airborne and ground geophysical surveys on the area as the Ideal 1-9 and Harmony claims.
