The Tap I occurrence is located to the north of Parsons Creek, approximately 2.3 kilometres southwest of the former producing WWW mine (MINFILE 092F 141).
The area is underlain by volcanics of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group). Diorite of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Intrusions lie to the northeast and northwest.
Mineralized quartz veins hosted in andesite and volcanic breccia occur within two main fracture zones. One of these zones strikes at 065 degrees and the other at 005 degrees. Mineralization consists of disseminated pyrite, chalcopyrite and malachite. The extent of the mineralization appears to be controlled by the fracture zones.
A grab sample across 30 centimetres of rusty, sheared and altered andesite assayed 0.55 gram per tonne gold, 34.3 grams per tonne silver and 6.75 per cent copper (Assessment Report 16119).
