The Nelson 2 South showing is located about 1 kilometre to the south of the Nelson 2 showing (104A 151), south of the toe of the Nelson glacier and 31 kilometres east-northeast of Stewart. The Nelson property also includes the Nelson 3 showing (104A 152).
The area may have been explored in the late 1970s for porphyry-type mineralization but there are no records available. In 1986(?), Noranda Exploration Company Ltd. acquired the Nel 1-4 claims over the area and carried out prospecting and silt sampling. The work failed to encounter any significant mineralization with the exception of an anomalous gold value in a silt sample from the north side of the Nelson Glacier. In 1988, Bond Gold Canada Inc. staked the Nelson 1-3 claims over the area and performed reconnaissance geological mapping and sampling the following year. In 1991, Noranda conducted general prospecting on the Nelson property.
The area is underlain by Hazelton Group rocks of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation. The rocks comprise andesitic tuffs and flows intercalated with mudstones, siltstones and conglomerates (Assessment Report 19424). These lie close to the contact with Bowser Lake Group sediments to the east.
The showing is a north-south trending quartz vein hosted in a 1.5-metre wide fault zone near the southeast corner of the claim. The vein contained up to 3 per cent coarse-grained galena with trace amounts of chalcopyrite. The vein is hosted in sheared chloritic andesite.
A sample across 15 centimetres assayed 4.5 grams per tonne gold, 278.2 grams per tonne silver and 1.95 per cent lead (Sample 39921, Assessment Report 21813).
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.
