The STAR-V showing is located on the east coast of Porcher Island, 12 kilometres north of the village of Oona River and 29 kilometres south of Prince Rupert, B.C.

The actual showing was detected by an airborne magnetic survey, backed up by rock sampling by BC Vanadium Corp. in 2019 on their STAR property. It is situated approximately 1 kilometre north up the coast from the STAR showing (103J 031). The sample showed anomalous Fe, V2O5 and Ti.

The purpose of the 2019 airborne survey was to map the magnetic properties of the survey area to aid in geological mapping as well as detect possible zones of bedrock mineralization and alteration. The dominant features highlighted are NW-SE trending elongate features throughout the northeast and south of the property. The northeastern and southern features contain strong magnetic highs which represent zones of vanadium rich titaniferous magnetite enrichment within semi-massive to massive magnetite seams within magnetite+/-chlorite+/-biotite schists. Vanadium results were variable across the magnetic anomalies with selective outcrop samples ranging from 0.01 to 0.1 per cent V205. In general, increased iron enrichment corresponded with increase vanadium and titanium concentrations (Assessment Report 38326). BC Vanadium Corp. conducted a similar program on their Porcher property (PORCHER-V) approximately 10 to 15 kilometres southwest in 2019 (Assessment Report 38265).
