The Polaris Zinc occurrence is shown on Map 1030A (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 274) as a zinc occurrence located near the mouth of Polaris Creek which drains into Lay Creek, approximately 100 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

The showing area is underlain by volcanic and sedimentary strata assigned to the Upper Triassic Takla Group (Plughat Mountain Formation). Little information is available on the zinc occurrence, but Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 274 (page 222) does mention the presence of lens-like bodies of massive sulphide in the area. These bodies consist of pyrrhotite with minor pyrite and chalcopyrite, are up to 9 metres thick and 30 metres long, and are associated with the Lay Creek fault.
