The Camp Creek (Giant No. 1) occurrence is located to the north of Camp Creek, a tributary of Raffuse Creek, at an elevation of approximately 760 metres.

The area occurs on the eastern edge of the Britannia- Indian River pendant, which hosts the volcanogenic deposits of the Britannia camp (MINFILE 092GNW003). The Britannia-Indian River pendant is mainly a calc-alkaline, sub-aqueous volcanic and sedimentary sequence of felsic to intermediate pyroclastics, flows, cherts, argillites and greywackes. The entire pendant has been classified as part of the Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Gambier Group. Cenozoic to Mesozoic Coast Plutonic Complex intrusives surround portions of the stratified rocks, creating screens or pendants. These bodies are oriented north westerly throughout the Coast complex. Pliocene to recent Garibaldi Group basaltic dikes and sills intrude both the pendant and plutonic rocks.

Locally, pyrite-sericite schists host a 15 centimetre wide faulted and nearly flat lying oxidized quartz vein with pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite mineralization. A former tunnel, on the south side of the creek, reportedly exposes a shear zone in greenstone hosting pyrite and chalcopyrite with minor galena and sphalerite.

In 1948, a sample (M38) from the tunnel assayed 10.9 grams per tonne silver, 0.80 per cent zinc and 1.3 per cent copper over 1.2 metres, while a dump sample (M39) assayed 16.4 grams per tonne silver, 0.05 per cent lead and 1.6 per cent copper (Property File - Victor Dolmage (1953-05-15): McVicar Copper-Zinc Deposits, Raffuse Creek, Squamish, BC).

In 1983, a rock sample (25457) assayed 0.56 gram per tonne gold, 31.8 grams per tonne silver, 1.08 per cent copper and 0.64 per cent zinc; while other select samples are reported to have assayed up to 10.3 grams per tonne gold, 46.9 grams per tonne silver, 1.34 per cent copper, 0.12 per cent lead and 1.07 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 11642).

The area has been historically explored in conjunction with the McVicar (MINFILE 092GNW006) occurrence to the south. In the late 1940’s, Surf Inlet Consolidated Gold Mines constructed a short tunnel on the south side of the creek. During 1978 through 1983, Texasgulf and later Kidd Creek Mines completed programs of rock and soil sampling, geological mapping and ground and airborne geophysical surveys. In 1987, Kidd Creek Mines completed a program of rock sampling and geological mapping.
