The Sat East occurrence is located on a ridge south of Satchie Creek, approximately 3 kilometres east of Hesquiat Lake.

The area lies at the faulted contact between granodiorite of the Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite and Pennsylvanian to Permian Sicker Group metasediments and metavolcanics (Geological Survey of Canada, Map 1537A).

Locally, an iron occurrence is indicated (Assessment Report 462).

In 1962, Paco Resources completed a program of geological mapping and a ground magnetometer survey on the area. In 1982, Cominco completed a program of prospecting and geochemical sampling on the area as the Basin and Lake claims. In 1984, Flow Resources completed a program of geological mapping, soil sampling, trenching, a ground electromagnetic survey and 13 diamond drill holes, totalling 643.2 metres. The drill program explored a strike length of 84 metres and a total down dip extension of 28.5 metres on the Brown Jug structure, approximately 2.7 kilometres west of Sat East.
