The Jewel Creek property is underlain by Devonian to Permian rocks of the Knob Hill Group in contact with Cretaceous granodiorite of the Nelson Intrusions. The Knob Hill rocks are described as greenstone, greywacke, limestone and paragneiss.

Massive blebs and disseminations of chalcopyrite, pyrite, magnetite and pyrrhotite occur in a silicified, greenish skarn and massive blebs in a very siliceous, brown garnitiferous rock A 1.2 metre sample of this material assayed 0.82 per cent copper, 12.0 grams per tonne silver and 0.07 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 7297). The main mineralized zone is a garnet-rich over 30 metres in width of which disseminated to massive chalcopyrite occurs over 1 metre and malachite staining over 10-15 metres.

Historic workings are reported to consist of one short adit, a caved adit open cut and trenches. In 1978, Roanoke Explorations Ltd. collected 331 soil samples and conducted hand trenching and prospecting. In 1980 Roanoke, conducted a electromagnetic survey over a portion of its Jewel property.
