The Cedar (Hazelton) Creek coal property is located on the south side of Hazelton Creek, a small creek which flows into the Skeena River from the west, just above Hazelton.

Sandstones, shales and carbonaceous shales of the Lower Cretaceous Kitsuns Creek Formation (Skeena Group) are exposed in a ridge of low hills along the south bank of Cedar Creek. The strata strike north, dipping gently west. Most of the several coal seams are narrow, however, one seam reaches 120 centimetres in width. This seam is in a crumpled area and is faulted on both sides. The coal is soft and crumbly and locally altered to graphite. An analysis yielded 79.8 per cent fixed carbon, 10.0 per cent V.C.M., 1.2 per cent moisture and 9.0 per cent ash (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1922).
