The Scenic (Log Cabin) occurrence is situated in the south region of the Lucky Strike property on the drainage divide between Maroon Creek to the west and a Fiddler Creek tributary to the east. It is approximately 14 kilometres east of the mouth of Marron Creek (Kitsumkalum Lake) and 27 kilometres north-northwest of Terrace, B.C.

Argillites of the Jurassic to Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group are intruded by numerous greenstone dykes. Diorite of the Cretaceous to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex lies to the south. On the west side of the divide, is a 2 metre wide silicified zone in the sediments. A 20 centimetre wide quartz vein mineralized with pyrite and chalcopyrite occurs on the hangingwall. At the divide, a vein of brecciated quartz and country rock is mineralized with galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite.

East of the divide, a 2.4 to 3.0 metre stringer zone contains pyrite and minor chalcopyrite. A 1.5 metre sample assayed 18.5 grams per tonne gold, 137 grams per tonne silver and 0.5 per cent copper (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1928).

In 2016, J2 Syndicate Holdings Ltd. and Goliath Resources Ltd. completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping, hand trenching and rock (41) and stream sediment (4) sampling on their Lucky Strike property. A SkyTEM aerial electromagnetic survey was flown over the Lucky Strike Property in 2017 for a total of 563 line km. Magnetic anomalies were found to highlight apparent intrusives at several locations, they generally corresponded with resistive zones in the SkyTEM data as well as with anomalous 2016 sampling. Several new areas of interest were identified as a result of this electromagnetic survey: Kahuna, Douglas, Lorne and Prosperity North (Assessment Report 36902).

An NI 43-101 Technical Report was completed on the property in 2017 for Goliath Resources Limited and a second comprehensive report was completed in 2018 including work done during the 2017 field season. The program consisted of reconnaissance and follow-up prospecting, geological mapping and geochemical sampling. Sampling during the 2017 and 2018 field season resulted in the definition of new zones of mineralization. One of these zones, discovered in 2017 and extensively sampled in 2018, is the Gold Source Zone, consisting of outcroppings and talus slopes of hydrothermal breccia. The Scenic showing is within this approximately 1 kilometre diameter magnetic circular anomaly at the confluence of several NE-SW trending magnetic lineaments (Goliath Resources Press Release Jan 5, 2021).
