The Keats molybdenum occurrence is located on Keats Island, in the Howe Sound area. The showing is described as being exposed for 120 metres along the shore line and to a height of 22.5 metres above the shore line. The exact location is unknown.

The area is underlain by argillite, greywacke, wacke and conglomerate turbidite of the Lower to Middle Jurassic Bowen Island Group and granodioritic intrusive rocks of the Jurassic to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex.

Locally, a fine-grained granodiorite hosts pyrite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite mineralization along shears and fractures and as disseminations through the rock. A grab sample, of characteristic material, contained approximately 1 per cent molybdenite and chalcopyrite. Another larger sample, across 120 metres, assayed 0.4 per cent molybdenite with individual samples up to 1.4 per cent molybdenite (Property File - E.O. Chisholm, Atlas Explorations Ltd.

During 1965 through 1967, the area was explored by Mort Lake Mines and Toby Creek Mines.
