The Pam South occurrence is located north of a small unnamed lake draining north into Nadika Lake, situated approximately 3.5 kilometres to the north.
The area is centred over a small granodiorite stock which intrudes Lower Cretaceous Skeena Group volcanic flows and tuffs. The stock and adjacent volcanics are extensively pyritized and altered. The alteration is concentrically zoned with a central potassic core grading outward into a middle phyllic zone and an outer propylitic zone.
Locally, volcanic rocks and sediments host stockwork veinlets of sphalerite and arsenopyrite. Two zones of mineralization (East and West) have been identified in a 400 metre wide area of anomalous zinc and gold values.
In 2012, chip sampling of the West zone assayed up to 0.85 gram per tonne gold and 0.32 per cent zinc over 6 metres. The East zone averaged 0.823 gram per tonne gold and 0.28 per cent zinc over 4.5 metres with grab samples yielding up to 4.5 grams per tonne gold and 1.21 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 33921). Mineralization in both instances is open in all directions.
By 2013, chip sampling had identified three mineralized outcroppings located within a 400 metre wide humus anomaly which yielded zinc values up to 0.278 per cent (a response ratio of 46.5 times background) and 13 parts per billion gold (a response ratio of 5.2 times the background) (Assessment Report 34192).
In the 1960's and early 1970's, numerous companies carried out large scale, helicopter-supported, regional prospecting and stream sediment sampling programs in the area. In 1972 and 1973, Hudson Bay Oil and Gas Limited completed an airborne magnetic survey including the area presently covered by the Sylvia and Pam claims. These surveys were followed up with preliminary reconnaissance mapping and geochemical sampling. In 1974 and 1975, HBOG carried out follow-up geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys on the Slide, Sylvia and Pam claims and drilled 56 percussion drill holes, totalling 2944.5 metres. In 1991, the area was staked by Kingsvale Resources Limited who conducted a preliminary geological and geochemical sampling program. In 1999, a limited soil and rock sampling program was performed on the Pam claims. In 2011 and 2012, limited prospecting, geochemical sampling and mapping programs were completed by KDG Exploration Services. This work identified the Pam South occurrence. In 2013, KDG collected 24 rock samples and 78 humus samples, the latter collected from four lines across the property. Humus samples were collected at 100 metre intervals on lines spaced generally between 350 meters and 1000 metres which spanned the areas of Pam and Pam South occurrences.
