The oldest rocks in the area are the Paleozoic Wark Diorite /gneiss and Colquitz Gneiss complexes. Overlying those is the Triassic Vancouver Group, comprised from bottom to top, the Karmutsen, Quatsino and Parson Bay formations. The Karmutsen Formation comprises Basaltic pillow lava, billow breccia and flows with minor interbedded limestone. The Quatsino Formation comprises a thick succession of massive to bedded limestone. The Parson Bay Formation is comprised of interbedded calcareous sediments and limestone. Intruded through these rocks are intermediate to acidic plutons and dykes of the Jurassic Island Intrusions.

At the Baird Creek occurrence rocks are limestone recrystallized to white, coarse grained marble. The pure marble zone is 25 metres across with a few, scattered layers of light grey marble. This is overlain by an intercalated sequence of lapilli - ash tuff, sandstone and argillite. The marble may belong to either the Quatsino or Parson's Bay formations. These are bounded to the north and south by shattered, strongly chloritized diorite intrusions of the Island intrusive suite. Garnet-actinolite skarn zones and strong bleaching occur along the contacts. Dominant structures are anticline-syncline pairs.

Work on the property in 1995 consisted of prospecting and preliminary mapping directed at identifying a potential source of marble dimension stone, aggregate or calcium carbonate filler source. No further work has been recorded on the site to 2004.
