The Salal South West occurrence is located on a small creek flowing south west in the north eastern head waters of Salal Creek, at an elevation of approximately 1670 metres.
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 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.
