The Creelman 2 occurrence is located on west facing slopes overlooking Lower Arrow Lake, approximately 1.3 kilometres northwest of La Forme Creek.

The area is underlain by a sericitic quartz-feldspathic rock, overlain by a succession of metamorphic volcanic rocks that include amphibolite, chlorite schist with interbedded thin beds of limestone. Overlying the meta-volcanic sequence are quartz-sericite schist, sericite schist and quartzite. A small plug of porphyritic biotite hornblende quartz monzonite intrudes the metamorphic rocks.

Locally, rusty pyritic quartz veins, averaging 5 centimetres in width, hosts silver values. In 1995, a grab sample (93TC-R001) assayed 39.1 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 23424).

In 1976, Kerr Addison Mines completed a program of geological mapping and geochemical sampling on the area as the CC 1-9 claims. In 1995, D.W. Tupper prospected the area as the Creelman 2 claim. In 1999, Orphan Boy Resources completed a soil sampling program. During 2010 through 2012, Signature Resources completed program of geochemical sampling and airborne electromagnetic and magnetic surveys on the area as the Columbia Queen property.
