The Red Rock occurrence is located on the west side of Teeta Creek, approximately 350 metres southwest of the creek mouth. The location given in the 1903 Minister of Mines Annual Report places the occurrence on the Moon 2, Boy 1 claims of Assessment Report 5997. The description given in Geological Survey of Canada Summary Report 1929 (page 133, Paystreak) may refer to the same occurrence.

The area lies in the Insular Belt of the Cordillera. The region is underlain mainly by volcanics and crystal- line rocks and minor sediments.

Overlying an assemblage of Paleozoic Sicker Group sediments and Upper Triassic basalts and minor carbonate and clastic sediments of the Vancouver Group is the Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group of andesitic to rhyodacitic lava, tuff and breccia. Bonanza volcanism is coeval with, or genetically related to Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite granodiorite that has invaded all older rocks, and in this area occurs as small, isolated stocks.

Northwest striking, 45 degrees west dipping calcareous clastic rocks of the Vancouver Group, Parson Bay Formation, are conformably overlain by Bonanza Group amygdaloidal andesite, in part silicified. A diorite stock lies 1 kilometre to the south of the Red Rock occurrence. Part of the Paystreak claim group, is described in the Minister of Mines 1903 Annual Report as a 3-metre massive pyrrhotite band hosted in diabase and felsic rocks. Assays returned traces of gold, silver and copper. The 1904 Annual Report reports "fair values" in gold, copper and zinc.

Work History

In 1984, Teriton Resources completed a program of soil sampling, geological mapping and ground geophysical surveys on the area. In 1987, Esso Resources completed a program of rock, silt and soil sampling on the area as the Teeta 1 claim. In 1989 and 1991, J.R. Billingsley prospected the area as the JRB 1-3 claims. In 1993, Great Western Gold completed a program of geochemical sampling and ground geophysical surveys on the area. In 2013, J.R. Billingsley completed a program of geological mapping and structural analysis on the area as the Quatsino King property. In 2019, Arcwest Exploration Inc. completed a program of geological mapping and rock sampling on the area as a part of the Teeta Creek property.
