The Badger Zone showing is situated along the base of cliffs on the west side of Upper Bronson Creek. It is located approximately 8 kilometres southeast (141°) of the Bronson Airstrip on Iskut River and 59 kilometres southwest (230°) of Bob Quinn Lake on Highway 37.

The showing was discovered during a rock sampling program by Imperial Metals Corp. in 2019 over four zones on their Bronson Property. It is located on the west side of the Bronson Creek valley approximately 800 metres northeast of the Wolverine showing (104B 206). Outcrop within the Badger Zone extends north-south for nearly 300 metre and hosts a 1.2 metre thick, steeply dipping, northwest-southeast trending shear vein. The shear vein orientation corresponds to a trend seen across the Bronson property and on surrounding properties.

The Bronson property is underlain by volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Upper Triassic Stuhini and Upper Triassic – Lower Jurassic Hazelton Groups. The lower elevations of the Bronson Creek valley consist of interbedded finely laminated siltstones, shales and greywackes assigned to the Stuhini Group which dip toward the southwest. This sequence is overlain by Hazelton Group dacitic lapilli tuff and tuff breccia, visible on the eastern slopes of Johnny Mountain. Diorite to granodiorite and lesser hornblende and aplite dikes assigned to the Early Jurassic Lehto suite intrude the sequence. Alteration of the volcano-sedimentary sequence consists of local silicification and biotization adjacent to the intrusives as well as bedding concordant quartz and quartz-calcite veining and broad zones of QSP alteration also related to the intrusives (MINFILE 104B 131 – BRONSON EAST).

Identified as Zone 4 of the 2019 exploration program, the Badger Zone is a series of steep, north-south trending cliffs on the western slopes of the Bronson Valley adjacent to the glacial moraine. The southern portion of the outcrop was a grey, medium to coarse-grained granodiorite in contact with a red weathered, dark grey, fine-grained, silicified siltstone with 1 to 2 millimetre veinlets of chlorite and 1 to 3 per cent disseminated pyrite. To the north, a lithological contact occurred from granodiorite to siltstone. Many rock and float samples collected along the Badger Zone appeared to have sulphide mineralization present. A 1.2 metre wide shear vein near the northern portion of the outcrop trends 123 degrees and a dips at 62 degrees to the southwest. This shear vein contained semi-massive sulphides within an over-silicified, fine-grained sandy siltstone host rock. Sample 36630 from the shear vein returned assay values of 0.657 gram per tonne Au, 5.62 per cent Zn, 86.1 grams per tonne Ag, 1.67 per cent Pb and 0.02 per cent Cu (Assessment Report 38827).
