The Fawn Creek (Eagle 5) occurrence is located on a tributary of the Gordon River, approximately 3.3 kilometres northwest of the Eagle (MINFILE 092C 145) occurrence.

The area is underlain by basaltic rocks of the Karmutsen Formation, sedimentary rocks of the Quatsino and Parson Bay Formations, all of the Upper Triassic Vancouver Group, and by volcanic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group. These are intruded by Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite rocks. A major fault trends parallel to Gordon River, striking 110 to 150 degrees. Shearing is prevalent with shears striking 060 to 120 degrees. Faults in the area contain sulphides, quartz and calcite. The claims are underlain by feldspar porphyry, basalt, volcanic flows, pillow and amygdaloidal basalts, breccias, tuffs, limestone and intrusive rocks.

Locally, chalcopyrite, pyrite and sphalerite occur in a gossanous zone in tuffs ("hematite" tuff), intrusive breccias, and feldspar porphyry associated with faulting and brecciation.

In 1984 through 1988, Western Forest Industries completed programs of geological mapping, prospecting, geochemical sampling and a ground geophysical survey on the Eagle claims. In 1986, two samples of mineralized material assayed up to 2.1 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 14925).
