The Ten (Northeast) occurrence is located about 2.6 kilometres south of Tenakihi Lakes approximately 62 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

The region is underlain by the Early Jurassic Hogem Plutonic Suite which consists of numerous intrusive bodies that vary in composition between gabbro, diorite, monzonite, syenite and alkali feldspar syenite (Fieldwork 1991).

At the Ten Northeast grid showings, intrusions comprising leucocratic syenite, mesocratic syenite, monzonite and diorite, are in contact with andesites of an unnamed unit, of the Upper Triassic Takla Group, which may be equivalent to the Early Jurassic Chuchi Lake Formation. The andesites are described as moderately schistose black-green rocks containing locally abundant disseminated pyrite and magnetite. Local minor disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite occurs in the intrusive rock.

In 1990, the Ten property was explored by reconnaissance-style geological mapping, soil and rock sampling, and proton magnetometer surveying on behalf of Cyprus Gold (Canada) Ltd.

In 2013, a two-day helicopter-supported prospecting and soil geochemical sampling program was carried out on behalf of Canasil Resources Inc. to evaluate limited areas of the western part of the Vega property. This work covered the Pluto (094C 019), Bottle (094C 110) and Ten (Northeast) occurrences. In 2014, Canasil Resources conducted a remote sensing survey over the Vega property covering approximately 11,407 hectares of surface area, consisting of 34 mineral tenures. The Vega property encompasses six occurrences: Pluto, Thane (094C 020), Vega (094C 021), MJW (094C 108), Bottle, and Ten (this description).
