The Government Creek area is underlain primarily by interbedded quartz, chlorite, muscovite schist and black graphitic schist, possibly belonging to a Middle Triassic to Upper Triassic to the Nicola Group packabge. These well foliated rocks are intruded by a diorite to monzonite dike which cuts across the property. This intrusive contains disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite along its strongly sheared margins. Several shear zones, containing extensive quartz veining which carry disseminated sulphides were mapped and sampled. One sample (sample 8650) taken in 1986 by Gabriel Resources assayed 0.65 grams per tonne gold and 106.8 grams silver (Assessment Report 15926).

See Jo (093G 004) for a history of the work that Gabriel Resources did on its G claims, including the Government Creek area, in the 1980s.
