The HIT CREEK showing on the northeast fork of Salal Creek, is part of the Salal property, The site is approximately 2.5 kilometres south of Salal Peak, 41.7 kilometres west-southwest of Gold Bridge and 70 kilometres northwest of Pemberton.

Molybdenum mineralization in the form of quartz-molybdenite pyrite veins occur in a medium-grained, variably quartz-sericite–altered quartz monzonite.

In 1996, Verdstone Gold Corp. completed an exploration program of geological mapping, soil and rock sampling and diamond drilling on the Salal property. Highlights of the rock sampling include rock chip sample SR-101, which assayed 0.698 per cent molybdenum over 5 metres at Hit Creek Canyon (Assessment Report 24684). In 2007 and 2008, Paget Minerals conducted small exploration programs to confirm past accounts of mineralization on the Salal property.

In early 2010, Miocene Metals Ltd. conducted airborne geophysical surveys over the Salal property. In late 2010 and through 2012, Miocene Metals Ltd. completed extensive programs of sampling, prospecting, mapping and four diamond drill holes on the Salal property. In 2022, minor soil and silt sampling and drone photogrammetric surveys were conducted in areas of the Salal property for R. Billingsley.
