The Golden Crest 4 showing is located just south of Shishilabet Lakes, about 15 kilometres east-northeast of Alice Arm.

Geological mapping has identified Middle Jurassic-Upper Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group sediments as most of the underlying bedrock. The sediments comprise a well-bedded sequence of siltstone-sandstone-greywacke-calcarenite-conglomerate-limestone. This sequence has been intruded by andesitic and felsic dikes (1-5 metres wide) that trend parallel to the dominant north-northeast trending,steeply dipping stratigraphy. The dikes have invaded shear zones in the sediments where graphite and other carbonaceous material is present. Considerable fracturing of the sedimentary bedrock is evident in shear zones and along dike contacts.

Development of quartz-sulphide mineralization is present in fractures within the shear zones that have an average width of 2 metres. One rock sample (52508) from a quartz breccia (with minor pyrite-arsenopyrite-ankerite-calcite) yielded an assay of 1.65 grams per tonne gold and 45.3 grams per tonne silver across a width of 0.4 metre (Assessment Report 20696). This zone occurs at the intersection of two shear zones. The main shear trends 020 degrees. The shear zone has been traced south, up the creek, where a zone of graphite and pyrite, as well as a felsic dike was encountered. Other sampled mineralization included quartz and pyrite hosted by fractured, argillaceous siltstone.

In 1990, geological mapping and a soil geochemical survey was completed on behalf of Navarre Resources Corporation. In 2005, Kitsault Resources Ltd. completed a reconnaissance stream sediment survey on the area as the Kitsault Gold property.
