The Star 22 (Perky Adit) occurrence is located on the north side of Teeta Creek, approximately 1.3 kilometres southwest of the creek mouth.

The area is underlain by andesitic to rhyodacitic lava, tuff and breccia of the Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group. The Bonanza Group volcanics have been intruded by granodiorite stocks of the Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite.

Locally, a 5 centimetre wide quartz vein hosts sulphide mineralization. Alteration minerals and style of mineralization are not reported.

In 1984, a sample assayed 0.28 gram per tonne gold and 20.6 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 12773).
