The ET occurrence is located approximately 17 kilometres north of the townsite of Cassiar and 113 kilometres north of the community of Dease Lake.

The area is underlain by Upper Devonian to Lower Mississippian Earn Group black slate, siltstone and porcellanite. Thin-bedded, grey barite occurs in these regionally metamorphosed sediments.

The occurrence is described as being similar to the Jan (MINFILE 104P 117) occurrence, located approximately 4.0 kilometres due south. The Jan occurrence consists of horizons of siliceous exhalite up to 10 metres thick that grade laterally into thin-bedded and nodular barite. These horizons locally contain pyritic laminae and are brecciated.
