The Glacier Island showing is part of the Salal property and is approximately 80 kilometres northwest of Pemberton.

Mineralization consists of abundant, fine-grained molybdenite occurring in quartz-sericite-pyrite veins.

From 1965 to 1966, Southwest Potash Corp. optioned the property and staked additional ground. They then completed a program of surveying, geological mapping, reconnaissance geochemistry and diamond drilling. This program produced a 50 kilogram bulk sample from blast trenching in the Glacier Island area that assayed 0.68 per cent molybdenum, while a 6.1 metre chip sample from the trench assayed 1.98 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 709).

In 2007 and 2008, Paget Minerals conducted small exploration programs to confirm past accounts of mineralization on the Salal property. Work included mapping and rock sampling in the Mud Lake and Logan Ridge area in the northern section of the property.

In early 2010, Miocene Metals Ltd. conducted airborne geophysical surveys over the Salal property. In late 2010 and throughout 2012, Miocene Metals Ltd. completed a program of sampling, prospecting, mapping and four diamond drill holes on the Salal property. Highlights of this program include three grab samples from the Glacier Island area, which assayed 1.155, 1.115 and 0.290 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 32913 and 33341).
