The Shul 4 showing is located 19 kilometres northeast of Stewart, just west of the Grey Copper (104A 066) showing.

The area is underlain by volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation (Hazelton Group). These consist of andesitic pyroclastics and flows intercalated with wackes and tuffs. An intermediate to felsic pluton of unknown age outcrops in the area.

Twenty surface samples were taken from a green pyroclastic unit at the southeast corner of the Shul 4 claim. Mineralization consists of disseminated and fine to coarse-grained pyrite and small pods of pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite hosted in andesitic pyroclastics and flows. The pyrite content averages 4 to 5 per cent but is up to 50 per cent where it is massive. Pyrite and chalcopyrite occur in pods; pyrrhotite occurs with pyrite and averages 1 to 2 per cent in content. A sample (45909B) taken from a massive pyrite pod in andesite containing 3 to 5 per cent pyrite, assayed 3.8 grams per tonne silver, 0.118 gram per tonne gold and 0.03 per cent copper (Assessment Report 22002).

In 1990, Bond Gold conducted geophysical surveys on the property. This program identified three targets; one was tested by drilling with no significant gold values encountered. In 1991, Bond Gold conducted mapping and lithogeochemical and stream sediment sampling.
