The Lawless Creek (West Bank) copper showing is 50 metres west of Lawless Creek, 1070 metres north of the creek's confluence with the Tulameen River and 6 kilometres west of the town of Tulameen.

A shear zone, striking 100 degrees and dipping 43 degrees south, cuts greenstone and argillite of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group. The zone is 0.76 metre thick at its south end and contains clots and disseminations of pyrite and chalcopyrite, with minor quartz.

A vein of massive pyrite and chalcopyrite, 5 centimetres thick, occurs in a large slump block at the foot of a bluff, just below the shear zone. A sample of the vein assayed 0.69 gram per tonne gold, 216 grams per tonne silver and 13.03 per cent copper (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1960, page 52).
