An adit at the Klondyke occurrence is situated on the west bank of the Tangier River a few metres above water level, 1.5 kilometres south of the rivers confluence with Fang Creek, about 12 kilometres north of Albert Canyon Station of the Canadian Pacific Railway, approximately 60 kilometres west of Golden.

The adit explores quartz veins and lenses from 10 to 50 centimetres wide hosted in Lower Paleozoic slate. Sparse mineralization in the veins consists of pyrite, galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite. A 24-centimetre channel sample across a vein in the adit yielded 0.08 per cent lead and 0.19 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 9993). Approximately 35 metres directly above the adit, a heavily oxidized quartz outcropping contains pyrite and limonite.

Historical work comprised 3 adits totalling 61 metres.
