The Daon area is underlain by andesitic rock of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group. Mineralization consists of massive galena in a quartz to carbonate vein-matrix. Values reported are: lead (to 2.27 per cent), zinc (to 0.29) and copper (to 0.10 per cent) (Assessment Report 20294).

The Ewk 1-4 and LLK 1-4 claims were staked by Canadex Mining Corp Ltd in 1969, and the Dok claims added in 1970. An agreement in 1970 with Empire Mercury saw 52 claims in the Dok, Pete, and Thelma groups optioned to Swiss Aluminum Mining Co of Canada Ltd. A program of soil geochemistry and geological mapping was undertaken in August 1970 (Assessment Report 3029). The PR claims were staked in 1971 by Empire Metals Corp to cover an area of anomalous copper in stream silt samples. Work in 1972 consisted of geological mapping and is documented in B.C. (Assessment report 3846).

In 1990, work by Equity Silver Mines on their Daon 1-6 claims involved geological mapping and sampling at a scale of 1:10,000. Nineteen rock samples were collected. Two bulk heavy mineral concentrate samples and two conventional silts were also taken.

The area was held as the Dok property in the 2000s. See Dok (MINFILE 104G 043) for further details.
