The Dodko claims are located on the north bank of the Bulkley River, 9 kilometres east of Hazelton.

Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous clastic sedimentary rocks of the Bowser Lake Group are intruded by a granodiorite dike of unknown age which contains molybdenite in quartz veins. Some bleaching and quartz-sericite alteration is associated with the mineralization. Chalcopyrite, jamesonite and sphalerite are also reported to be present in the sedimentary rocks in the area.

In 1980, a grab sample (A3) from a 2-metre wide mineralized area assayed 1.17 per cent molybdenite, while a 15-metre wide chip sample from the adit assayed 0.04 per cent molybdenite (Assessment Report 8198).

For a completed regional/property exploration history see the American Boy (MINFILE 093M 047) occurrence.
