The North Muskateer occurrence is located on the east bank of the Kitsault River, 24.5 kilometres north of the town of Alice Arm. Two silver-bearing veins were periodically explored here between 1916 and 1922.

The area is underlain by a sequence of volcanics and sediments of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group and the Lower-Upper Jurassic Hazelton Group. The sequence is folded into the doubly plunging, north-northwest trending Kitsault River syncline. This sequence has been regionally metamorphosed to greenschist facies.

The North Muskateer comprises two veins developed in Hazelton Group andesitic tuffs. The more significant vein has been traced for 76 metres in an adit and a series of trenches. It is up to at least 4.6 metres wide, strikes 120 degrees and dips vertically. Mineralization consists of pyrite, marcasite, galena, chalcopyrite and sphalerite in a gangue of quartz, carbonate, barite and hematite. A 2.4 metre long drillhole intersection 61 metres below the adit containing traces of pyrargyrite and native silver assayed 514 grams per tonne silver (Geology, Exploration and Mining in British Columbia 1972, page 509). Sixty metres south, a north-trending vein of similar mineralogy has been defined.

Between 1916 and 1922, trenches and an adit were developed on the showing. The adit is about 91 metres east of the main valley trail and is at 347 metres elevation. Near the portal in the banks of a small creek are several trenches, two of which expose mineralization coated with manganese oxides.

During 2010 through 2019, Dolly Silver Corporation explored the area as apart of the Dolly Varden property. A complete property exploration history can be found at the Dolly Varden (MINFILE 103P 188) occurrence.

In 2014, ten samples taken from the North Musketeer to Mitchel occurrence (MINFILE 103P 193) area greater than 20 grams per tonne silver and up to 564 grams per tonne silver, while diamond drilling yielded up to 7.45 grams per tonne gold over 46.68 metres, including 87.65 grams per tonne silver and 0.169 per cent zinc over 3.16 metres in hole DV14007 (Higgs, A.A.
