The Bee Creek molybdenum-copper occurrence is situated on the western side of Klekane Inlet off Graham Reach, at approximately 620 metres elevation.

The area is underlain by the northwestern end of a northwesterly trending keel of metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks (Alexander terrane) that extend southeasterly along the shores of Princess Royal Channel. These comprise predominantly fine- to medium-grained metagreywackes containing minor amounts of what may have originally been either tuffaceous or pelitic beds. The Alexander terrane rocks have been intruded and surrounded by granodiorite rocks of the Cretaceous Butedale pluton (Ecstall Plutonic Suite). Regional metamorphism progressed to biotite-garnet grade in the middle amphibolite facies throughout the Alexander terrane rocks.

Locally, disseminations of molybdenite and chalcopyrite occur in a granodioritic dike.

Between 1996 and 2005, the area was prospected and sampled by J.T. Lawrence. Previous work in the area centred on the nearby Pink Rose (MINFILE 103H 029) occurrence. In 2005, a composite chip sample (K 15-1) of mineralized dike material returned 0.414 per cent molybdenum and 0.697 per cent copper (Assessment Report 28298).
