The Alls Up adit is located near tide water on the western shore of Phillips Arm, approximately 1.3 kilometres south-southwest of Bullveke Point.

The area is underlain by a persistent band, greater than 12 kilometres long, of stratified metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks of the Upper Triassic Quatsino and Karmutsen formations (Vancouver Group). The band trends northwest and separates Jurassic to Cretaceous Coast Plutonic Complex rock of two different compositions, diorite and granodiorite.

The Alls Up adit exposes multiple 5 to 10 centimetre wide quartz veins with minor pyrite (less than 1.0 per cent) within a granodiorite host. A sea level exposure of the quartz veins is 80 centimetres wide with coarse pyrite on selvages. In 1985, a channel sample from within the adit assayed 0.055 gram per tonne gold and 2.3 grams per tonne silver over 0.3 metre (Assessment Report 14466).

The area was originally explored in the late 1890’s in conjunction with the nearby former Alexandria (MINFILE 092K 028) mine. A full exploration history can be found there. In 1899, on the Alls Up claim, an adit was driven from the beach for approximately 33 metres following an irregular quartz vein.

In 1980, Corpac Minerals Limited optioned the Alexandra group and the adjacent Enid-Julie property. Work by Corpac in 1980 included a geochemical soil survey (105 samples) and rock sampling. The following year, a program of geological mapping and soil sampling was completed. In November 1982, Charlemagne Resources Ltd. optioned 17 reverted Crown grants. Falconbridge Limited entered into an agreement with Charlemagne and in 1985 and 1986 carried out geochemical surveys comprising 1687 soil and 440 rock samples, airborne magnetometer and electromagnetic surveys over 300 kilometres, and a ground electromagnetic survey over 200 kilometres on the Alexandra and adjacent ground.

The area was prospected as the Cordero property in 1991 and 1992 by Ripple Creek Resources. In 1996 and 1997, Norwood Resources conducted ground electromagnetic and magnetic surveys, soil geochemical surveys, prospecting, trenching and road building on the property. The soil survey on the adjacent Ben claims on the Alexander property tests the area between the Dorotha Morton mine (MINFILE 092K 023) and the Enid-Julie workings (MINFILE 092K 024). The purpose was to determine if the Dorotha Morton gold trend continues into the Alexandria property.

During 1997 through 2000, Thurlow Resources conducted exploration programs on the area, renamed the DM and Picton properties, on the HY, LO and FILL 2-19 claims. The programs consisted of soil sampling, rock sampling, and geological mapping. In 2008, Cuda Capital completed a 561.4 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey on the area.
