The Quin occurrence is located approximately 16 kilometres north of Motase Peak and about 160 kilometres north of the town of Smithers. A similar molybdenite occurrence is located approximately 1.5 kilometres to the southwest.

Both showings are hosted in a biotite quartz diorite intrusive body which may be related to the Late Cretaceous Bulkley Plutoinc Suite that occurs about 2 kilometres to the southwest. This body intrudes sediments, predominantly shaly argillites, of the Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group (similar to the Gold #8 occurrence (094D 118) located about 11 kilometres south). The sediments are folded, fractured and biotite hornfelsed near the intrusion.

Mineralization consists of disseminated pyrite and very local molybdenite flakes in thin joint surfaces. The molybdenite flakes range up to 0.5 millimetre in size; minor chalcopyrite and magnetite also occur.

In 1985, a grab sample of mineralized biotite quartz diorite assayed 0.05 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 14073).

In 1984, Mr. Zink staked the Gold claims which covered the Quin showing. Suncor followed up in 1985 with a field program which included detailed prospecting, soil geochemical surveys, geophysical surveys (magnetic and VLF), geological mapping and some trenching. Suncor, owner, and Big Ben Resources, operator, followed with another field season in 1986.

In 2007, Electrum Resource Corporation carried out a field program of verifying previous geological mapping, prospecting and sampling on their Tut property which covers the Quin and Squingula (094D 041) showings.
