No geological description of the Nugent Queen deposit is available, and its exact location cannot be confirmed. It may be the O.K. property, further to the east, staked by R.D. Smith as agent for R.C. McCorkell in July 1938.

From available information, the occurrence is located on the north shore of Nugent Sound, 5.5 kilometres east of the entrance off Seymour Inlet. This provisionally places the occurrence in a unit of quartz diorite of the Jurassic to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex (Geological Survey of Canada Map 1386A).

Three test lots of mineralized rock are reported from the Nugent Queen in the Minister of Mines Annual Report 1939, but these samples are likely from the Nugget Queen (092L 178), located 17 kilometres to the southeast.
