The Bond 4 showing is located about 27 kilometres east-northeast of Stewart, approximately 7 kilometres south of Strohn Creek, on the north side of the Nelson Glacier.

In 1988, Bond Gold Canada Inc. staked the Nelson 1-3 claims and conducted some geological mapping and prospecting to the east of the showing. A porphyritic granodiorite stock was reported to the northeast of the showing. That same year Teuton Resources Corp. staked the Bond 1-7 claims to the west and south of the Nelson claims. In 1989, Goodgold Resources Ltd. entered into an option agreement with Teuton and flew a heli-borne VLF-EM and magnetometer survey over the southern part of Bond claims. In 1990, Goodgold conducted reconnaissance geological mapping and prospecting on the property. The showing was reported at that time.

The area is underlain by north-striking argillites of the Middle Jurassic Salmon River Formation(?) (Hazelton Group) (Bulletin 63). Northeast, north to north-northwest and east-northeast trending faults have been reported in the area (Assessment Report 21535).

The showing consists of a 50-centimetre wide brecciated quartz vein in argillites. A grab sample collected in 1990 assayed 0.72 per cent copper, 42.9 grams per tonne silver and 0.13 per cent lead; zinc and gold values are anomalous (Assessment Report 21535).

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.
