The Swanson-Hobson occurrence is located on the north side of a small lake, west of Swanson Creek and approximately 7.3 kilometres southeast of the creeks’ junction with the Nechako River.

The area is underlain by undivided volcanic rocks of the Middle Jurassic Naglico Formation (Hazelton Group) and dioritic intrusive rocks of the Lower Triassic to Upper Jurassic Brooks diorite complex.

Locally, a rhyolite-granite contact hosts quartz veins and breccias in narrow zones parallel to the contact, striking 210 degrees and dipping 68 degrees to the west.

In 2012, a rock sample (SK12-84) assayed 0.25 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 33466).

In 2013, a rock sample (S13-01) of vesicular basalt, taken approximately 1.2 kilometres west of the occurrence, assayed 0.12 gram per tonne gold (Assessment report 34597).
