The George E. occurrence is located on the north bank of Glacier Creek, 7 kilometres northeast of Stewart. A number of veins have been explored in this area since 1908 for base and precious metal mineralization.

The showing is hosted in thinly bedded argillite, siltstone and greywacke of the Middle Jurassic Salmon River Formation (Hazelton Group). Andesitic tuffs of the underlying Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation outcrop to the east. These units dip 30 to 60 degrees west on the west limb of a broad, open, north-trending anticline.

The veins are developed in the Portland Canal Fissure Zone. This zone of faulting and shearing trends north, dips steeply west and hosts a vein system that extends southward for 6.5 kilometres from the Victoria/Dandy occurrence (104A 067) on the north, through the Dunwell mine across Glacier Creek to the Ben Bolt occurrence (103P 080).

The George E. occurrence is comprised of nine subparallel quartz breccia veins developed en echelon. The veins occur adjacent to and between, two parallel north striking, steeply west dipping faults which are 300 metres apart. Significant mineralization is confined to four of these veins, designated from west to east: Number 4, Number 1 (First/West), Number 2 (Centre/Main) and the Number 3 (Green/East). The veins are spaced 15 to 40 metres apart, strike north to northwest and dip between 30 and 90 degrees west. They are sometimes associated with dikes that form the hangingwall or footwall of the vein. The Numbers 1, 2 and 4 veins vary from 0.2 to 1.8 metres in width and have been traced along strike for between 165 metres (Number 4) and 300 metres (Numbers 1 and 2). The Number 3 vein varies from 0.1 to 9 metres in width and has been traced for 700 metres.

Mineralization generally consists of disseminated to massive pyrite, galena and sphalerite with a trace of argentite and native silver in a gangue of quartz and minor calcite. A representative sample from a well mineralized lens, 4.6 metres long and 0.05 to 0.46 metre wide in the Number 3 vein assayed 63.1 grams per tonne gold, 137 grams per tonne silver, 5 per cent lead and 6 per cent zinc (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1935, page B23). A 1.5 metre chip sample from the Number 4 vein assayed 17 grams per tonne gold, 583 grams per tonne silver, trace copper, 28 per cent lead and 5 per cent zinc (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1934, page 20). A 1.25 metre chip sample from the Number 1 vein assayed 15.8 grams per tonne gold, 411 grams per tonne silver, trace copper, 7.4 per cent lead and 0.2 per cent zinc (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1937, page B12).

In 1937, 12 tonnes of high-grade ore was mined from the Number 1 vein with an average grade of 13 grams per tonne gold, 3250 grams per tonne silver and 23.3 per cent lead.
