The Knoll occurrence is located on the lower north- north eastern slope of Mount Knauss, approximately 1 kilometre east- northeast of the junction of Knauss and Fiddler creeks. It is situated approximately 2 kilometres west of the settlement of Dorreen on the west side of Skeena River, 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.

The Knoll occurrence was discovered in 2019 during a prospecting and rock sampling program on Knauss Creek Mines Ltd.'s Saturn claims over an EM anomaly target. Two samples taken at either end of a bedrock knoll in the lower Gosling Creek area had significant elevated results of 0.45 and 3.1 grams per tonne Au, 26.2 and 22.7 grams per tonne Ag and 2.04 and 1.07 per cent Zn (Assessment Report 38731).
