The Kehlechoa R occurrence is located about 75 kilometres east-southeast of Dease Lake.

The showing is underlain by Mississippian to Triassic ultramafic rocks of the Cache Creek Complex. These rocks consist of peridotite, dunite and pyroxenite which are generally serpentinized. These rocks locally include pods or lenses of nephrite jade. One such pod is plotted on Geological Survey of Canada Open File map 2779 between the Kehlechoa River and Wade Lake.

Asbestos mineralization, probable chrysotile in veinlets, was reported to occur west of the Kehlechoa River (Geological Survey of Canada Map 9-1957). The exact location of the asbestos is not reported but the only ultramafic rocks west of the Kehlechoa River in which the asbestos would occur are restricted to the area east of Wade Lake.
