The Esther occurrence is located on Golden Gate Creek, a tributary of the Kennedy River. The showing is on the east side of Highway 4, approximately 46 kilometres west of Port Alberni and 26 kilometres northeast of Uclulet, B.C.

Upper Triassic basalts and andesites of the Karmutsen Formation, Vancouver Group are intruded by quartz diorite to granodiorite of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Intrusions and Tertiary dacitic dikes of the Eocene Tofino Intrusive Suite. The rocks are cut by northwest trending faults which typically show intense shearing and local sericitization, silicification and pyritization over widths of 0.5 to 2 metres.

The showings consist of a series of sulphide bearing quartz veinlets which occupy north easterly trending fractures in Karmutsen volcanics. Over a distance of about 70 metres there are approximately 60 quartz veinlets ranging in thickness from 0.5 to 8 centimetres. The veinlets consist of coarse, milky-white, commonly drusy quartz hosting pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite and chalcopyrite. The veinlets also carry fragments of wall rock, as well as accessory chlorite and carbonate. The wallrock around larger veins shows a sheared and siliceous envelope. The veinlets persist laterally for over 100 metres where they are obscured by overburden.

In 1983 and 1984, Rich Lode Gold Corp. completed programs of geochemical sampling, prospecting and geological mapping on the area. A continuous 1 metre sample of volcanic rock, containing a 0.6-metre wide quartz vein, assayed 1.30 grams per tonne gold and 4.46 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 11940). A sample of a fracture containing vuggy quartz with minor chalcopyrite and galena contained 101.49 grams per tonne gold and 36.34 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 12047).

In 2009 and 2010, G4G Resources Limited completed a program of prospecting and remote sensing, consisting of spectral analysis and synthetic aperture radar analyses, on the area as the G4G property.
