The Gael occurrence is located at the end of a road just below Beveley Peak, on the north side of Osilinka River, approximately 50 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.
At the Gael showing, mineralization occurs within a shear on a cliff face in grey quartzites of the Neoproterozoic Swannell Formation (Ingenika Group). The shear has a well-developed hangingwall and an average strike of 060 degrees. The hangingwall dips 65 to 70 degrees to the southeast. The footwall was not observed, the quartzite grading into siliceous schist and finally into sericite schist. The mineralized shear is thought to have a width of between 1.5 and 3 metres; the zone has also been reported as a breccia (S. Dudka, personal communication, 1992). Silver-mineralized samples were collected from along the structure for 274 metres. Disseminated fine-grained sulphides are accompanied by a high level of silicification and are variably reported to include arsenopyrite, argentite, pyrite, galena, chalcopyrite and scorodite.
In 1979, the highest assay from drill core was 377 grams per tonne silver over 0.66 metre; the highest gold was 0.1 gram per tonne. One selected sample assayed 2095 grams per tonne silver and 0.44 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 7546).
In 1973, R. Hall conducted prospecting on the Gael claims. In 1979, Suzie Mining Explorations Ltd. completed three test X-ray drillholes totalling 15 metres, and rock sampling.
