The BC Sugar East graphite occurrence is located in a small creek gully, approximately 2.5 kilometres north of the north end of Sugar Lake.

The area is underlain by metamorphic rocks of the Proterozoic to Paleozoic Kootenay (Shuswap) Assemblage. High grade metamorphic rocks consisting primarily of gneiss with minor quartzite are intruded by a fine to medium-grained diorite.

Locally, graphitic schists, 1 to 2 metres thick, are hosted by quartzites, marbles, calc-silicate marbles and gneisses. These have intruded by felsic and pegmatitic sills.

In 2013, nine rock samples yielded from 2.18 to 5.06 per cent carbon (Assessment Report 35056).

During 2013 through 2015, Lithium Corporation completed programs of prospecting and rock sampling on the area as the BC Sugar property.
