The Babine property is located on the north side of Four Mile Mountain, 8 kilometres east of Hazelton. The property has been prospected by two adits, approximately 150 metres apart, and several trenches. The property is underlain by a small (1500 metres in diameter) stock of coarse grained grey granodiorite of the Eocene Babine Intrusions. Potassium/argon dating of biotite in the stock indicates an age of 55 million years (Geological Survey of Canada Open File 2322).

The main occurrence is a 38-centimetre wide vein which strikes 050 degrees and dips 65 degrees southwest. The vein carries banded sphalerite, galena and minor chalcopyrite in a gangue of quartz. The second occurrence, located 150 metres to the east, contains pyrrhotite and base metal sulphides in a quartz gangue.

A 38-centimetre wide channel sample assayed trace gold, 77.8 grams per tonne silver, 2.65 per cent lead and nil zinc (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 223).

In 1983, Can-Ex Resources Ltd. completed two short drill holes on the occurrence. In 1986, a program of soil sampling and a ground (VLF) electromagnetic survey were completed.
