The Comstock occurrence is situated in the central region of the Lucky Strike property at the headwaters of Wesach Creek to the west and Hampson Creek to the east. It is located approximately 10.5 kilometres east of the north end of Kitsumkalum Lake, 34 kilometres north of Terrace, B.C.

A narrow, low-dipping dyke of albite-rich diorite intrudes argillites of the Jurassic to Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group. The dyke contains quartz veins with pyrite, sphalerite, galena, and minor chalcopyrite. Assays indicate low gold content.

The area has been explored in conjunction with the South Lorne Creek (MINFILE 103I 027) and and a completed regional exploration history can be found there.

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. The 2016 geochemical survey returned assays up to up to 24.7 grams per tonne gold, 188 grams per tonne silver, 2.04 per cent copper, 8.34 per cent lead, 0.26 per cent molybdenum, 0.13 per cent tungsten and 6.3 per cent zinc in quartz veins containing massive pyrite on the newly discovered Prosperity Trend. The 650 metre by 250 metre area Prosperity Trend is in the central portion of the Lucky Strike property at the headwaters of two prolific placer creeks, Lorne Creek draining eastward, and Douglas Creek draining westward.

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.
