The Taseko Lake hydromagnesite occurrence is within Recent sediments deposited within an ephemeral lake system developed, possibly, as a result of meandering of the Taseko River. Hydromagensite appears to be confined to lacustrine sediments in a small depression in the Taseko River valley at this locality.

The showing is estimated to contain about 55 tonnes of hydromagnesite.
