The Bell 1 showing is underlain by argillite and wacke of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group and Lower Permian limestone of the Stikine Assemblage. These are intruded by monzodiorite to gabbro of the Early Jurassic Texas Creek Plutonic Suite.

Garnet-epidote-pyroxene-pyrite skarn occurs as xenoliths within an intrusive plug and as a thin, discontinuous rim at the intrusive-limestone contact. Several grab samples were taken from this and other skarn occurrences on the Bell 1 claim. Of these samples, only sample 32967 yielded significant gold results. It was taken from an irregular, limonitic, 20 by 30 centimetre pod of skarn at the western margin of the intrusion. The sample, containing 5 per cent disseminated pyrite, assayed 3.29 grams per tonne gold and no other significant values (Assessment Report 20791).
