The North Bacon occurrence is located on the northern slopes of a small hill, located approximately 800 metres northeast of the northern end of Bacon Lake.

The area is underlain by Karmutsen Formation volcanics that are overlain by Quatsino Formation limestone, both of the Upper Triassic Vancouver Group. These in turn are overlain by volcanics of the Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group. Plutonic rocks of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite intrude these rocks and vary in composition from gabbro to quartz monzonite but are mainly granodiorite and quartz diorite.

Locally, a silicified andesite with manganese staining hosts course crystals of chalcopyrite and sphalerite. In 1989, a sample (B-89-14) of mineralized andesite assayed 0.688 per cent copper and 1.126 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 18946).

Massive magnetite with disseminated pyrite outcrops approximately 100 metres to the east. In 1989, a sample (B-89-15) of massive magnetite assayed 43.8 per cent iron (Assessment Report 18946).

In 1987, R. Tessolini prospected the area as the Bacon claims. In 1989, M. Sawiuk completed a program of geological mapping, rock sampling and a ground magnetometer survey on the area. In 1997, IMA Resources Corporation completed a program of geochemical sampling and geological mapping on the area as the Bacon 1-4 claims. During 2009 through 2013, Western GateWay Minerals explored the area as part of the Bacon Lake property.
