The Lucifer showing is located on an un-named tributary of Moore Creek, approximately 10 kilometres west of the Iskut River.

In 1990, Noranda commenced reconnaissance prospecting, geological mapping, rock, soil and stream sediment sampling in the area. In 1991, Noranda optioned the Lucifer property to a venture between Akiko-Lori Gold Resources and Koala Resources. ALK Ventures carried out an IP survey and tested a porphyry target carrying anomalous gold mineralization, with two-hole drill program. In 2006, Paget acquired the Lucifer property by staking and carried out a limited verification program between 2006 and 2008.

The area is underlain by sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group, which are intruded by K-feldspar porphyry dykes.

A large carbonate-pyrite-sericite-silica alteration zone contains anomalous gold, arsenic, barite, cadmium, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, lead and zinc. Alteration zones appear to be controlled by northeast trending, steeply dipping faults.

In 1991, one of the two holes drilled intersected 15.1 grams per tonne gold over 1.36 metres and 0.7 gram per tonne gold over 5.7 metres (Assessment Report 21091).

During 2006 through 2009, Paget Resources Corp. and Ruby Creek Resources Inc. completed small exploration programs of prospecting and rock, stream and soil sampling

In 2010, the property underwent a limited soil sampling program by the More Creek Property Syndicate. This was followed by contour soil sampling (530), by Unique Resources in 2011, defining a 250 by 300 metres anomalous zone along a northeast trending structural corridor. Further works by Unique from 2012 to 2014 included soil sampling (240) and limited trenching and rock sampling (35) across the zone. The Lucifer Syndicate carried out limited rock sampling and petrographic work in 2017, prior to International Samuel Exploration carrying out trial drone surveys, high resolution photographs and topographic mapping and soil sampling.
