The Lizard occurrence is located on Harris Creek, approximately 700 metres north west of Lizard Lake.

The area is underlain by ultramafic rocks of the Mesozoic and/or Paleozoic Westcoast Complex. Serpentinite outcrops along Harris Creek and is generally dark green and sheared, with a multitude of polished and slickensided surfaces. Magnetite is pervasive in this rock. Narrow bands of altered gneiss occur within the serpentinite, but are not common. Intermediate to mafic intrusives occur at higher elevations and contain disseminated pyrite locally.

Pyrite is locally abundant in the serpentinite and small pods of pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite also occur. Gold values from assays were not considered anomalous.

A soil geochemical survey was performed in 1974, sampling along logging roads in the area from Fairy Creek to Lens Creek, along the north side of the San Juan River. See Read (1974) for Cu, Pb, & Zn results plotted on maps. In 1985 and 1986, Pan Island Resource completed programs of geological mapping and geochemical sampling on the area as the Lizard 1-4 claims. A sample (84MST88) assayed 0.201 per cent copper (Assessment Report 14686).
