The Carwill occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1530 metres on a northwest-trending ridge, approximately 9.5 kilometres west of Mount Lovell.

The area is underlain by sedimentary rocks of the Lower Jurassic Nilkitkwa and Upper Jurassic Ashman formations and basaltic volcanic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Ankwell member, all of the Hazelton Group which have been intruded by feldspar porphyritic rocks of the Eocene Babine Plutonic Suite.

Locally, felsic lapilli and crystal tuff and interbedded cherty sediments host trace pyrrhotite mineralization.

In 1986, an outcrop sample (75053) assayed 1.38 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 14957).
