The Taylor Creek chromite showing is located in the Taylor Creek basin, approximately 2 kilometres southwest of Eldorado Mountain. The showing is within serpentinite, serpentinized dunite and peridotite, imbricated with sedimentary rocks of the Mississippian to Jurassic Bridge River Group (Open File 1989-4; Fieldwork 1988, page 119).

Massive chromite is associated with serpentine and reddish weathered peridotite. Chemical analysis of the ore shows that it consists of 48.72 per cent Cr2O3 (Geological Survey of Canada Summary Report 1915, page 83).

About half a kilometre north, an occurrence of nickel is hosted in a north striking lense of sheared serpentine and talc, surrounding lenses and patches of dunite. The mineralization is restricted to a 2 to 3-metre wide section along the west side of the ultramafic body and consists of fine-grained disseminated pentlandite and pyrrhotite. Minor amphibole and dolomite(?) occur on shear planes. A grab sample assayed 0.32 per cent nickel, 0.38 per cent sulphur, 0.28 per cent chromium and trace cobalt (Exploration in British Columbia 1986, page B40).
