The Bush Creek prospect is reported to occur along the north bank of Bush Creek on the northeast slope of Mt. Hayes Ridge, about 1.6 kilometres southeast of the summit.

Locally, a large inclusion of hornblende gabbro to diorite occurs within the Saanich granodiorite of the Jurassic to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex. This inclusion has been intensely sheared, forming a shear zone 1.5 to 6.1 metres wide, striking 325 degrees and dipping 55 degrees southwest. The rock is chlorite altered and hosts minor pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization.

Prospecting in 1969 failed to locate this showing (Douglas, 1969).
