The Quartz showing occurs in an area underlain by argillite and greywacke with intercalated mafic volcanic rocks correlative with the Upper Triassic Takla Group of the Quesnellia Terrane. Late Tertiary sedimentary and basaltic rocks overlie the Mesozoic strata. Surface exposures indicate that the quartz vein is at least 205 metres long and up to 21 metres wide. The vein strikes at about 140 degrees and at the approximate midpoint of its probable surface extent, bifurcates to the northwest. The quartz is opaque, white, massive, and very pure in appearance. Near the vein margins, trace limonite and manganese stain are present on fractures. Two chip samples collected by the Geological Survey Branch in 1981 returned 95.51 and 96.24 per cent silica (Fieldwork 1981 p. 10). A chip sample in 1987 across 2 metres assayed 95.57 per cent silica (Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources Open File 1987-15 p.30).
