The Addie 1 showing is located between Spanish Lake and the Hobson Arm of Quesnel Lake, approximately 70 kilometres east of Williams Lake, 14 kilometres southeast of Likely. Access is provided by paved road to the community of Likely from Williams Lake, with the remaining distance accessed by the Spanish Lake forestry roads.

Regionally, the area is underlain by Middle to Upper Triassic Nicola Group banded slates and tuffs of the Quesnel Terrane, with basaltic Upper Triassic Nicola volcanics to the west and Upper Proterozoic to Paleozoic Snowshoe Group metasediments to the northwest. To the east, the Eureka thrust fault marks a major tectonic boundary between the Intermontane and Omineca belts.

The Addie 1 occurrence is underlain by Upper Triassic to Middle Jurassic metasediment and volcanics. A strong southeast to northwest structural grain is thought to be an expression of the Spanish fault, which parallels the northern Eureka fault. The south flank of the Spanish Lake valley is dominated by the Spanish Lake anticline. North of this feature, stratigraphy is dominated by tuffaceous phyllite, argillite and subordinate associated sedimentary rock; to the south, a mixture of volcanic wacke, debris flows and serpentinite. The north side of Spanish Lake is largely underlain by graphitic pelite.

The mineralization style on the Addie 1 property is shale- or siltstone-hosted veins emplaced during regional metamorphic events. Sediment-hosted gold mineralization on the adjacent Spanish Mountain gold project (MINFILE 093A 043) occurs as disseminated mineralization throughout argillite, siltstone and greywacke and higher grade quartz veins in greywacke.

Gold exploration has been ongoing in the surrounding area since the Barkerville gold rush in the 1850s. In 1933, A. Bayley and F. Dickson discovered gold veins on the flank of Spanish Mountain; exploration interest has been consistent since that time. In 2005, Dajin Resources Corp. conducted a 51-sample stream sediment program that identified elevated gold and arsenic values (Assessment Report 28279).

Between April 1, 2006, and January 7, 2007, Dajin conducted an 83-sample stream sediment program that further identified elevated arsenic and gold values on the property. Transition metal enrichments and the occurrence of graphitic phyllite have suggested a possible platinum group metal occurrence (Assessment Report 28867).

In 2007, a helicopter-borne magnetic and electromagnetic survey was flown on the property. Results suggest the southeastward extension of stratigraphy and structures associated with the adjacent Spanish Mountain gold occurrence (MINFILE 093A 043; Assessment Report 29424).

In 2009, Dajin conducted a 660-sample B-horizon soil program showing coincident gold, arsenic and molybdenum anomalies. Zinc, copper and chromium anomalies were found to have a broader and contrasting geographic distribution compared to gold. Slightly elevated platinum values were associated with gold, whereas palladium values were associated with zinc (Assessment Report 31186).

In August 2010, Dajin conducted a 920-sample B-horizon soil program, reinforcing and expanding the anomalous gold and arsenic zones (Assessment Report 31803).

In 2011, Dajin conducted a soil sampling survey. Results of this survey reproduced known gold anomalies and showed that values increased with sample depth, suggesting stronger and more representative values could be present in areas where previous sampling was too shallow (Assessment Report 32576).

In 2012, Dajin released results from a 12-hole, 2484-metre drill program targeting geochemical and geophysical targets. Drillholes reported widespread intercepts tens of metres in length and grading of more than 0.1 gram per tonne gold, including drillhole AD1-2011-011, which reported 0.149 gram per tonne gold over 93.2 metres. The company planned to conduct further trenching, ground geophysics and structural mapping before their next drill program (Press Release, Dajin Resources Corp., April 27, 2012).
