The Lens Creek Quarry occurrence is located on the eastern side of Lens Creek, approximately 2 kilometres north of Pixie Lake.

The area is underlain by diorite and quartz diorite of the Mesozoic and/or Paleozoic Westcoast Crystalline Complex . Seams, 2 to 5 metres wide, of dark green to black serpentinite cut the diorites.

Locally, a logging road rock quarry exposes chalcopyrite mineralization.

In 2005 through 2009, Le Baron Prospecting completed programs of geochemical sampling and prospecting on the area as the All The Marbles 2 claim. In 2006, sample B-314574 of heavily oxidized material hosting chalcopyrite assayed 3.4 grams per tonne silver and 1.05 per cent copper (Assessment Report 28488).
