The Bews Creek (Quartz Creek) occurrence is located on a south facing slope, approximately 1.5 kilometres north east of the pass between Bews Creek and Copeland Creek and at an elevation of approximately 2080 metres.
The area is within the Monashee Metamorphic Complex, which is regionally metamorphosed to amphibolite grade, and on the south eastern side of the Frenchmap Cap gneiss dome. Underlying rocks include dominantly granite orthogneiss and minor paragneiss of the core of the dome.
Mineralization occurs along a fracture that strikes 015 degrees and dips 70 degrees east. The mineralized core is up to 2 metres wide and extends along the western slope of a cliff for approximately 46 metres. Masses of coarse galena and sphalerite up to 60 centimetres thick lie on either side of a lamprophyre dike. The dike is highly altered, suggesting that the sulphide mineralization is later than the dike. In 1990, a float sample (QC 1) assayed 2.45 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 21278).
The showing was re-located in 1989, but no work was done. In 1990, the area was prospected as the Chase 1-4 claims. In 2001, New Blue Ribbon Resources completed a program of rock sampling and geological mapping. In 2012, International Millennium Mining completed a program of soil and stream sampling on the area.
