The SALAL SOUTH WEST occurrence is located on a small tributary of Salal Creek, approximately 2 kilometres southwest of Salal Peak and 43 kilometres west-southwest of Gold Bridge, B.C.

Locally, 0.2 to 30 centimetre thick quartz veins host disseminated to banded pyrite and molybdenite in an aplite host.

In 2008, a grab sample (148775) assayed 0.276 per cent molybdenite (Assessment Report 31091).

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 Salal South West area.

In early 2010, Miocene Metals Ltd. conducted airborne geophysical surveys over the Salal property. In late 2010 and throughout 2012, Miocene Metals Ltd. completed extensive programs of sampling, prospecting, mapping and four diamond drill holes on the Salal property. In 2022, minor soil and silt sampling and drone photogrammetric surveys were conducted in areas of the Salal property for R. Billingsley.
