Location: Domingo Creek is a small west tributary to Faro Creek, a south tributary to Arolik River. This location is on the lower part of Domingo Creek about 1/2 mile west of a winter trail. It is locality 4 of Hoare and Cobb (1977) and of Cobb and Condon (1972).
Geology: A placer mine location was noted here by Hoare and Coonrad (1961), but other information about the deposit is not available. Domingo Creek is in the non-glaciated part of the Faro Creek drainage. Nearby uplands include Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks intruded by Jurassic mafic and ultramafic plutons (Hoare and Coonrad, 1978).
Workings: Some small-scale surface workings were probably present here.
Age: Quaternary.
