The Village 100 aggregate occurrence is located on the western side of the Bonaparte River, approximately 1.5 kilometres southwest of the community of Cache Creek.

The area is underlain by Middle Pennsylvanian to Upper Triassic eastern facies of the Cache Creek Complex.

Locally, north-south trending surface lineations represent buried bedrock controlled valleys and ridges.

In 1994, a program of geological mapping, seismic refraction surveys, twenty-one test pits and five boreholes, totalling 114 metres, was completed. The results of this program confirmed that benches located on the west and northwest of the Trans Canada Highway and the Cache Creek landfill site is infilled with glacial till and sand and gravel.
