The Nad 5-6 (Dil 2) occurrence is located on an east-facing slope of a small hill in the southern headwaters of West Nadila Creek, approximately 3.5 kilometres northwest of Nadila Lake and at an elevation of approximately 2160 metres.

The area is primarily underlain by clastic sedimentary rocks of the Lower Cretaceous Taylor Creek Group and volcaniclastic rocks of the Upper Cretaceous Powell Creek Formation, which are cut by irregularly shaped dikes and stock-like bodies of Cretaceous to Tertiary hornblende feldspar porphyry. Well-hornfelsed and fractured lithologies include dark-grey argillaceous siltstone, brownish greywacke and chert-volcanic pebble conglomerate. These are capped by basaltic volcanic rocks of the Miocene to Pleistocene Chilcotin Group to the north and south.

Locally, a feldspar porphyry hosts 0.5- to 2-centimetre wide veins or veinlets containing minor pyrite and chalcopyrite.

In 1980, a select sample (JDR-141) of vein material assayed 1.90 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 8891).

In 1991, a sample (47224), taken a short distance to the northwest, assayed 15.997 grams per tonne gold and 73.0 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 20462).

In 1980, Barrier Reef Resources Ltd. completed a program of geological mapping and geochemical sampling (rock and soil) on the area as the Nad claims. During 1987 through 1989, programs of rock and soil sampling, prospecting and geological mapping were performed on the area as the Dil claims. In 1990, Inco Ltd. completed a program of rock and silt sampling, geological mapping and a lone trench on the area as the Knight claims. In 1991, a program of rock sampling and geological mapping was completed on the Dil claims. In 1996, a minor soil sampling program was completed on the Tante 1-8 claims. In 2010, a program of rock and soil sampling was completed on the Dil property.
