This gold-silver occurrence is shown on Geological Survey of Canada Maps 907A and 971A. The West Kwanika Creek occurrence area is underlain by sediments assigned to the Carboniferous to Jurassic Cache Creek Complex and consists of interbedded limestone, phyllite, argillite, chert and schist.

Although no descriptions of this occurrence are available, it is possible that it may be related to the silver-lead-zinc (with or without gold) mineralization developed in fault-controlled, quartz-carbonate veins at the Lustdust occurrence (093N 009) to the north.
