The Gold Creek occurrence is located on the eastern side of Poquette Creek, approximately 40 kilometres north-northwest of the community of Horsefly.

The area is underlain by northwest trending, dark green, augite porphyry basalt to andesitic unit bounded by sedimentary rocks of the Middle-Upper Triassic Nicola Group.

Locally, at least two sets of structurally controlled quartz vein systems hosted in the tuffaceous wacke associated with gold mineralization. The first set occurs along the joints or cleavage fractures and appear to be related to a metamorphic event. The second set occurs as a series of narrow (1 to 4 centimetre wide), sub-paralleling quartz veins, dipping steeply to the north and striking east and cut across the bedding and the first set of veins. The second phase of veining appears to be controlled by tension structures and may be more hydrothermal in origin.

The quartz veins are associated with very fine to approximately 1 millimetre-sized native gold with an occasional fine sulphide assemblage of galena, sphalerite and pyrite. Along the contact walls of the quartz, pyrite can range between 5 to 10 per cent and in the host rock it is usually 1 to 3 per cent. Where observed, the gold has been found as fine, free individual crystalline grains (i) along the walls of the quartz veins; (ii) along walls of cubic pyrite; (iii) with limonitic pyrite and, (iv) occasionally with galena.

In 2006 through 2009, Bullion Gold Corp. completed a series of exploration programs on the area, including drilling. In 2007, a 20.5 metre chip sample returned 4.34 grams per tonne gold, including 9.55 grams per tonne gold across 8.5 metres (Assessment Report 29919). In 2009, drilling returned up to 0.342 gram per tonne gold over 5.0 metres (Assessment Report 31562).

In 2019 and 2020, KORE Mining Ltd. completed programs of prospecting and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling on the area as part of the South Cariboo property.
