The NAR 26 showing is located in proximity to 48 Creek, north of the Skeena River, about 9 kilometres northeast of Terrace. The Nar 44 showing, or Kshish, is located 2 kilometres east. The Kshish property currently (ca. 2015) covers both showings.
The southern portions of the Kshish property are underlain by the Eocene Newtown Creek pluton (53 Ma) and the Paleocene Kitsumkalum Intrusive Suite (60 Ma), while the northern portion is underlain by the Lower Jurassic, volcanic dominated Kitselas Facies of the Telkwa Group.
White biotite granite of the Newtown Creek pluton are cut by aplite and basalt dikes. Molybdenite occurs in quartz veins filling flat, widely spaced joint fractures. A rock chip sample (K596) from 48 Canyon, 120 metres northwest of Nar 26, assayed 4800 parts per million (0.48 per cent) molybdenum (Assessment Report 1661).
Refer to Nar 44 occurrence (Minfile 103I 034) for a detailed work history of the area.
In 2012, a late summer work program by Arrowstar Resources Ltd. comprised rock sampling (43), mapping and general reconnaissance. Field exploration was successful in the discovery of a new zone of mineralization in 48 Creek canyon approximately 300 metres northwest of NAR 26, where three granite float samples contained quartz veining and visible molybdenite (see 48 CANYON Minfile).
Exploration work done in 2013 showed that the molybdenum soil anomalies on the lower slopes were transported soils lying on fresh unmineralized intrusive bedrock.
In 2015 and 2017, Barkley Resources Ltd. conducted geochemical soil sampling and further mapping on the Kshish property, focusing on the Newtown Creek area. In 2017 several mapping traverses were undertaken in both the (Nar 26) and Newtown Creek (Nar 44) areas, but access to the 48 Creek canyon was not possible.
