The Pocket Lake occurrence is located between Cascade and Deception creeks at 2025 metres elevation above sea level in the Slocan Mining Division. The property consists of two Crown grants (Lots 5633 and 5634). The Crown grants are incorrectly located on the 1:50,000 scale topographic map (Poplar Creek 82K/6). For the correct field location of the Crown grants please refer to map 82K/W, sheet 4 printed by the British Columbia Department of Lands and Forest on July 1, 1956 (Assessment Report 16433).

Regionally, the area lies within the Selkirk Mountains of southeastern British Columbia. The occurrence is within the Kootenay Arc, a curving belt of highly deformed metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks which includes the Upper Proterozoic Horsethief Creek Group, the Upper Proterozoic to Lower Cambrian Hamill Group, the Lower Cambrian Badshot Formation, and the Paleozoic Lardeau and Milford groups. The volcano-sedimentary sequence is intruded by numerous Paleozoic to Mesozoic granitoid plutons and has been metamorphosed to at least middle greenschist facies.

No geological description could be located for this occurrence, however, it is situated in an area underlain by chloritic marble and phyllite of the Index Formation of the Lardeau Group. Significant galena mineralization occurs near the old workings. The showing is also reported to carry silver values (Assessment Report 18136).
