A 120 centimetre wide, steeply northeast dipping quartz vein is exposed in a bed of Camp Creek, hosted in the foliated and altered tuffs of the Lower Jurassic Telkwa Formation (Hazelton Group). The surface exposure is oxidized and there is 10 centimetres of gouge bordering the vein walls. Mineralization consists of coarse-grained pyrite in the vein. The wallrocks contain an anomalous concentration of barium. "Fair" gold values are reported (Annual Report 1923).
