The Lava Rock property is located on the north side of Scottie Creek, approximately 20 kilometres south east of Clinton.

The area is underlain by rocks of the Permian Cache Creek Complex consisting of rhyolite to basaltic lavas, pumice, and volcanic ash. This assemblage is thought to correlate with the Chilcotin Group.

Locally, three lenses up to 100 metres thick and three kilometres long consist of rhyolite ash containing layers of andesite volcanic conglomerate with clasts lying in the acid tuff matrix. These are located on the Barbeque and Landscape claims.

In 1986, five rock samples were collected from the Barbecue claim, previously known as Plat IV. Elements related to platinum mineralization were low and there was no detectable platinum or palladium. In 1987, in a fieldwork investigation by the Geological Survey of Canada, massive rhyolite ash was discovered near and in Scottie Creek Valley. This is where the Barbecue and Landscape claims are located. In 1998, the Barbecue and the Landscape mineral claims (now the Lava Rock property) were staked by the writer to be evaluated for their industrial mineral potential for pumice and pozzolan material. In 1999, a fieldwork program of geological mapping, rock sampling and grid work was completed.

The pumice deposit of the Barbecue and Landscape claim group includes three different clast sizes and two different colours. The small size, 1.25 to 2.50 centimetres, pumice pebbles are suitable as decorative pumice for indoor uses. The medium size, 2.50 to 3.75 centimetres, pumice cobbles are suitable for outdoor, decorative and landscaping uses. The large size, 3.00 to 4.50 centimetres, pumice cobbles are suitable as flame bed material in the barbecue industry. The pumice deposit of the property has two different colours, including 70 per cent red colour and 30 per cent light gray to black colour (Assessment Report 30260).
