The Blubel occurrence is located approximately 1.5 kilometres east of Empress Creek and 4.5 kilometres north of Shinish Creek.

The area is hosted in granodiorite and quartz monzonite of the Middle Jurassic Osprey Lake batholith, containing large phenocrysts of pink orthoclase.

Locally, molybdenite and pyrite occur in quartz veins and fracture zones within altered sections of the intrusion. Much of the fracture- controlled mineralization appears to be associated with a regional fault striking 015 degrees.
