The Brentford occurrence is located on the lower north- north eastern slope of Mount Knauss, approximately 900 metres east- south east of the junction of Knauss and Fiddler creeks, approximately 38 kilometres northeast of Terrace, B.C.

The area is underlain by Lower Jurassic volcanics of the Hazelton Group and Upper Jurassic sediments of the Bowser Lake Group. The strata is comprised of laminated argillites, bedded tuffs and interbedded andesite flows.

Locally, three parallel quartz veins (J1, J2 and J3), approximately 75 metres apart in total, occur in a small diorite intrusive which cuts tuffs and argillites of the Jurassic to Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group. The veins, which strike 030 degrees and dip steeply east, are 1 to 2 metres wide and are mineralized with pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite.

A 30 centimetre sample assayed 1.7 grams per tonne gold, 261 grams per tonne silver, and 1.1 per cent copper (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1914) and a selected sample from a dump assayed 1.4 grams per tonne gold, 377 grams per tonne silver, 11 per cent lead, 8 per cent zinc, and 1 per cent copper (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1932).

In 2003, two samples (S615 and S616) from the J1 vein assayed 1.54 and 18.54 grams per tonne gold, 541 and 109 grams per tonne silver, and 0.665 and 1.43 per cent lead, respectively. A sample (S613) of the J2 vein assayed 29.54 grams per tonne gold, 415 grams per tonne silver, 0.185 per cent copper, 4.17 per cent lead and 0.121 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 27225).

In 2010, a sample (B 38 R) assayed 240 grams per tonne gold, 145.2 grams per tonne silver, 0.598 per cent copper, 0.207 per cent zinc and greater than 1.0 per cent lead (Assessment Report 31459).

In 1981, Canamco Resources completed a program of airborne geophysical surveys, totalling 206 line-kilometres, on the area as the Top 1-8 claims. In 1985, a ground magnetometer survey was done on the area as the Saturn claims. During 1987 through 2010, Knauss Creek Mines completed programs of prospecting, geochemical sampling and ground electromagnetic surveys, totalling 11.7 line-kilometres, on the area as the Saturn 3 claim.

In 2016, Knauss Creek Mines Ltd. performed a quartz vein sampling program within the Saturn 4 claim, centred approximately 400 m east of Brentford. The objective was to revisit a known area of abundant quartz veining while getting new eyes on the property to observe the veining style and their style of occurrence. The veins are plentiful; some conjugate, many en-echelon and others stand-alone. Of the 12 rock samples obtained, 11 returned values ranging from 106 to 1644 grams per tonne Ag, 0.05 to 7.87 grams per tonne Au, 0.02 to 0.96 per cent Cu, 0.91 to 5.02 per cent Pb and 0.085 to 13.88 per cent Zn.
