The Paul occurrence is exposed in a cirque and along a ridge top near the headwaters of Osilinka River, 50 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

The showing area is underlain by syenite to granitic phases of the Early Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Hogem Plutonic Suite. Molybdenite is smeared on rusty pyritic fault planes striking 028 degrees and dipping vertically. Molybdenite with chalcopyrite and pyrite is also hosted in a quartz vein, 1.5 kilometres north of the fault zone. Locally, epidote veinlets crosscut the intrusions.

In 1979, Noranda Mines Limited staked four claims followed by a reconnaissance sediment sampling program. Exploration work continued during the 1980 field where preliminary geology and prospecting was completed.
