The Baetis occurrence is located near the south shore of Duck Lake.

The area is underlain by basaltic flows and pillowed basalt of the Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group) and by a complexly inter- layered succession of volcanics and sediments of the Sicker and Buttle Lake Groups. These include limestones and marbles of the Lower Permian to Upper Pennsylvanian Mount Mark Formation and basaltic flows, agglomerates, bedded tuffs and andesite of the Upper Devonian McLaughlin Ridge Formation.

Locally, pillow basalts host mineralization in quartz veins, ranging from 20 to 40 centimetres in width and striking north. Mineralization consists of malachite, chalcopyrite and pyrite and possible minor galena.

In 2003, the area was prospected by B. Hanslit as the Baetis claim. A 0.25 metre chip sample of mineralized quartz vein material assayed 14,767 parts per million copper and 5.1 parts per million silver (2002-017; Assessment Report 27213).
