The Bud Creek showing area is underlain by marine sedimentary and volcanic rock of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group and Devonian to Permian sedimentary rocks of the Stikine Assemblage. The stratigraphy is intruded by Early Jurassic granodiorite of the Texas Creek Plutonic Suite to the southwest and Eocene granite of the Major Hart Plutonic Suite to the northeast.

The Bud Creek showing is a system of narrow quartz-sulphide veins assaying up to 4.32 grams per tonne gold. Mineralization consists of wispy veinlets of pyrite and arsenopyrite with or without minor galena and sphalerite, localized along hairline fractures within crackled quartz veins.

The showing consists of easterly and/or southeasterly striking quartz-sulphide veins as described above ranging in width from 5 to 40 centimetres. The alteration zone surrounding the quartz veins is generally strongly silicified and chloritized. Sulphide mineralization within this alteration zone consists mainly of pyrite and pyrrhotite with trace amounts of molybdenite, galena, sphalerite and arsenopyrite. Galena, sphalerite and molybdenite are usually found in the numerous millimetre scale quartz sweats which crosscut the alteration zone. Grab samples from the Bud Creek showing quartz veins assayed up to 4.32 grams per tonne gold and 153.3 grams per tonne silver with 0.85 per cent lead and 0.57 per cent arsenic (Sample 172491; Assessment Report 19890).
