The region is underlain by andesitic tuffs and related sediments of the Unuk River Formation of the Hazelton Group. These strata are intruded by the early Jurassic Texas Creek Batholith on the west, and the property is crosscut by Eocene age "Hyder dykes".

On the property fragmental andesitic volcanic rocks and deformed siltstones are intruded by the Texas Creek pluton and the Tertiary dykes. The showing consists of several parallel, moderate to flat- dipping (45 degrees south) quartz-carbonate-sulphide veins and veinlets containing chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena and tetrahedrite. The veins strike 100 degrees and are hosted in tuffs and siltstone east of, and stratigraphically above, the contact with the Texas Creek pluton. A 30-centimetre sample across a quartz vein yielded 9.6 grams per tonne gold, 929.83 grams per tonne silver, 1.3 per cent copper, 0.4 per cent lead and 0.4 per cent zinc (Starr, 1929 Property File).

Recent exploration efforts (1979) did not relocate the original 1- to 1.5-metre-wide vein, but their traverses did not investigate the slope area or gully directly below the cabin at the north end of Indian Lake. This was the approximate area of the original veins described in Minister of Mines Annual Report 1925, page A101.

During 2004 through 2019, the area has been explored as part of the Silver Coin property and a complete property exploration history can be at the nearby Silver Coin (MINFILE 104B 150) occurrence.

Between 2017 and 2020, Pretium Exploration Inc. conducted prospecting and soil sampling in the area as the Cascade property.
