The Mount McGuire North occurrence is situated 400 metres west of Kinskuch Lake, about 18 kilometres north of Alice Arm and 50 kilometres southeast of Stewart.

The Kinskuch Lake area is underlain by volcanics and sediments of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group and the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group. These occur along the eastern limb of the north to northwest trending Mount McGuire anticline and have been regionally metamorphosed to greenschist facies.

The showing area is predominantly underlain by Hazelton Group basaltic flows and epiclastic breccias with minor intercalated andesitic flows. The more competent andesite flows have large-scale shears (up to 250 metres long and 15 metres wide). They are usually gossaned with a moderate to high degree of limonite staining. Sulphide mineralization comprises disseminated pyrite locally up to 30 per cent. The shears are usually friable on surface, but are fresh and moderately silicified underneath the oxidation. A rock sample of material with up to four per cent disseminated pyrite assayed 0.53 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 21188).

In 1990, reconnaissance mapping and sampling was completed on behalf of Arc Resource Group Ltd. A total of 24 rock, 30 soil and 20 silt samples were collected.
