The Halt occurrence is located near a small tributary creek to the Tahltan River, about 29 kilometres west-northwest of the community of Telegraph Creek.

The showing is underlain by Upper Triassic Stuhini Group dacite and andesite which have been silicified and badly weathered. A gossanous outcrop contains less than 1 per cent pyrite and minor chalcopyrite as well as malachite, goethite, and jarosite.

In 1982, Du Pont of Canada Exploration Ltd. completed geological mapping, and 13 silt and 17 soil samples were collected for analyses. Based on 17 soil samples, this work indicated a gold anomaly threshold of 40 parts per billion and 100 parts per billion (Assessment Report 10423).

In 2014, Alix Resources Corp. completed a preliminary program of geological mapping, soil and rock geochemistry sampling and prospecting on two areas of the South Fork property, including the VI (104J026) and Halt (104J 058) showings. The program comprised a series of east-west soil geochemistry lines, north of the Tahltan River, with a total 49 soil samples taken. On 1 of these east-west lines immediately northwest of the Halt showing and on another 425 metres north of the first, a gold and copper-gold in soil anomaly up 1 kilometre wide was revealed. Most gold values from the anomalous area (from both lines) are between 20 and 48 parts per billion gold (with one at 106 parts per billion gold), significantly higher than values outside the anomaly. Eight rock samples were taken on the Halt portion of the South Fork property and two (2) rock samples were taken from the VI (104J 026) portion. One of the 8 Halt rock samples was float and was the only sample significantly anomalous in gold (0.22 gram per tonne gold) and arsenic (about 0.097 per cent arsenic) (Assessment Report 34953).Only one of the samples was significant in gold at 0.073 per cent copper.
