The R695NW occurrence is located on a logging road to the south west of Kearsley Creek, at an elevation of approximately 670 metres.

The majority of the region is underlain by granodiorite to diorite intrusions of the Jurassic to Cretaceous Coast Plutonic Complex. Roof pendants of the Paleozoic Twin Island Group and Jurassic Harrison Lake Formation occur throughout the area. These are, locally, intruded by aplite and basaltic dikes.

Locally, a 5-centimetre wide aplite dike is hosted in a north-south, vertical siliceous shear. In 1989, a rock sample (R695NW) assayed 21.5 grams per tonne gold and 3.0 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 19710).

In 1938 and 1939, native gold was mined from the 79 Hill and Blue Devil workings, near the headwaters of Seventynine Creek between Alouette and Stave lakes. During 1976, the Spanar claims were staked 1500 metres south of Mount Crickmer. Between 1981 and 1987, Skyrocket Exploration and Resources Inc. held a large claim block between Stave and Alouette lakes. During 1988 and 1989, soil and rock sampling surveys were carried out on the Oro and Star claims by 007 Precious Metal Inc. In 1995, the area was prospected and sampled as the Crickmer claims. In 2008, the area was sampled and prospected as the Seventy Nine project by Crucible Resources. In 2015, the area was prospected as the Bar-J claims.
