The VRL-10 occurrence is located on the south side of Golden Gate Creek, a tributary of the Kennedy River.
Upper Triassic basalts and andesites of the Karmutsen Formation, Vancouver Group are intruded by quartz diorite to granodiorite of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite. The rocks are cut by northwest trending faults which typically show intense shearing and local pyritization, sericitization and silicification over widths of 0.5 to 2 metres.
An 80 centimetre wide quartz vein, carrying pyrrhotite, strikes 100 degrees and dips 90 degrees within granodiorite. Float from the vein contained pyrrhotite and lesser amounts of pyrite, sphalerite and chalcopyrite.
In 1983 and 1984, Rich Lode Gold Corp. completed programs of geochemical sampling, prospecting and geological mapping on the area. A sample of the float contained 61.03 grams per tonne silver, 1.03 grams per tonne gold, 6.80 per cent zinc, 0.58 per cent copper and 0.1 per cent lead (Assessment Report 11940).
In 2009 and 2010, G4G Resources Limited completed a program of prospecting and remote sensing, consisting of spectral analysis and synthetic aperture radar analyses, on the area as the G4G property.
