The Nelson Creek placer showing is located on Nelson Creek near the foot of the Nelson Glacier, approximately 7 kilometres southwest of the northwest end of Meziadin Lake.

Several placer mining leases were recorded on Nelson Creek in the late 1920s (Property File - Placer Mining Lease, 1928).

Bedrock in the area consists of volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Lower to Middle Jurassic Hazelton Group, close to the contact with the overlying Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group (Bulletin 63). The Jurassic rocks are blanketed, along stream valleys, by unconsolidated Quaternary sediments.

Moderately fine, flaky, but still rough gold has been panned from the creek near the foot of the glacier and at other locations along the creek (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 32).

In 2005, a helicopter-borne AeroTEM II electromagnetic and magnetic survey was carried out on behalf of Teuton Resources Corp. over the Del Norte-Midas property and a total of 1299.5 line-kilometres was flown.

During 2017 through 2019, Teuton Resources completed programs of geochemical (rock and soil) sampling, an airborne geophysical (ZTEM and magnetic) survey and four diamond drillholes on the Del Norte property.
