The Sky Pilot (Creek 3) occurrence is located north of the pass separating the Stawamus and Indian rivers, on a small creek flowing west into the Stawamus River and at an elevation of approximately 950 metres.

The area occurs on the eastern edge of the Britannia-Indian River pendant, which hosts the volcanogenic deposits of the Britannia camp. 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 assigned to the Lower Cretaceous Gambier Group. Jurassic to Cretaceous Coast Plutonic Complex intrusions 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.

In 2016, a rock sample (3-4B) from a rusty fracture zone on ‘3’ creek assayed 29.6 grams per tonne silver and 1.53 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 36226). Previous heavy mineral sampling in the area had identified very small grains of native gold, pyrite and chalcopyrite.

The area has been historically explored in conjunction with the War Eagle (MINFILE 092GNW042) occurrence to the southeast. During 2011 through 2016, the area was prospected and sampled as the Sky Pilot Gold property.
