The Priam 4 showing is situated on an upper south-facing ridge above the Unuk River valley. The location is approximately 65 kilometres southwest of Bell 2 Lodge on Highway 37, and 69 kilometres northwest of Stewart, B.C.

Priam 4 is in an area of argillite at the margin of a large quartz-sericite-pyrite gossan. Samples 1630446 and 1630447 from a silicified boulder contained elevated silver, lead and zinc; Sample 1630447 assayed 0.20 gram per tonne gold, 48.0 grams per tonne silver, 0.16 per cent copper, 3.61 per cent lead and 3.36 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 36656). A line of soil samples immediately east of these samples were also elevated in lead and zinc.

Previous work in the area includes a 1989 exploration program by Winslow Gold Corp of helicopter-supported reconnaissance prospecting, geological mapping, and geochemical sampling (Assessment Report 19703). Four showings were reported and documented as the Priam 1 (104B 620), Priam 2 (104B 622), Priam 3NE (104B 621) and Priam 3NW (104B 623). Refer to Priam 1 (MINFILE 104B 620) for details of a common work history.

In 2006 and 2007, Hathor Exploration Ltd. completed a 7228.7 line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey on the area.

In 2016 Colorado Resources Ltd. prospected and sampled the showing area as part of a larger reconnaissance exploration program on their KingPin Property which covered 36 MINFILE occurrences on the property. Work included the collection of 147 rock chip and grab samples and a total of 129 soil samples (Assessment Report 36656).
