The Gosling showing is in the upper reaches of Gosling Creek, a north flowing tributary of Fiddler Creek, west of the settlement of Dorreen on the Skeena River. The showing is approximately 35 kilometres northeast of Terrace, B.C.

The upper Gosling Creek area was prospected and sampled (21 rock samples) by Knauss Creek Mines Ltd. in 2019. Nine samples were taken directly within or along the upper reaches of Gosling creek. Samples consisted of quartz float, insitu quartz veins, and sandstone both altered and non-altered. Samples KN037- KN040 returned elevated Au results ranging from 0.27 to 3.58 grams per tonne with arsenic values greater than 10,000 parts per million. Samples KN053 and KN057 were parallel quartz veins set within a shear zone that ran up the middle of Gosling creek. These samples returned gold values of 0.38 and 1.86 grams per tonne respectively (Assessment Report 38731).
