The Strike occurrence is located approximately near the head of a northwest-southeast–trending valley, approximately 5 kilometres northwest of the east end of Gavel Lake.

The area lies in the Middle Devonian Ecstall Greenstone Belt (Endicott Arm Assemblage), underlain by intercalated felsic and intermediate volcanics and fine clastic sediments. The Ecstall Belt is a north-northwest–trending, high-grade metamorphic belt bounded by the elongate Middle Cretaceous Ecstall pluton on the west and the Paleocene Quottoon pluton on the east. The rocks include sericite schist, quartz sericite schist, pyritic quartz sericite schist, chlorite schist, andesite, tuff, greywacke, siltstone, and argillite.

Locally, the type of mineralization is not described.

A single rock sample from the area is reported to have yielded 0.17 per cent copper and 2.83 per cent zinc (Dyakowski, C. [2021-01-27]: Technical Report on the Ecstall Property, Skeena Mining Division, British Columbia).
