The Pins East occurrence is located in northwest British Columbia, approximately 82 kilometres northwest of Stewart, in an area termed the Bronson Corridor.

The Pins East showing is located within an undivided Jurassic-Triassic volcanic and sedimentary sequence which may, in part, be correlative with the Hazelton Group (Unuk River Formation) or Stuhini Group rocks. The volcanic units consist of rhyolite-latites, andesites and an intensely altered rock hosting abundant chlorite, epidote and pyrite. Argillites and andesitic tuffs were also mapped. The rhyolite occurs as flows and sills, is strongly fractured and hosts abundant pyrite, both disseminated and in veinlets accompanied by sericite. Limonite staining is common and masks the rock fabric.

The volcanic and sedimentary sequences are intruded by Upper Mesozoic to Cenozoic intrusives of the Coast Plutonic Complex. The intrusive units consist of diorite porphyry, orthoclase porphyry and andesitic porphyry.

Copper mineralization, consisting of fine-disseminated specks and coarser blebs or veinlets of chalcopyrite with pyrite and limonite, occurs within a chlorite-sericite altered andesite. The adjacent rock type is andesitic tuff which is also strongly altered by chlorite and pyrite. Quartz veins contain mainly chlorite and pyrite with minor amounts of chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite. Minor specks of galena and sphalerite were found disseminated within the altered andesite and tuff.

Silicification is more intense in the eastern part of the Pins grid, and the altered andesite hosts abundant quartz veins and vein- lets.

In 1973, several rock samples were collected from quartz veining in the eastern part of the property. One chip sample assayed 0.0135 per cent zinc, 0.003 per cent lead and 0.0024 per cent copper.

In 1983, a float sample taken from the North Pins Glacier float train assayed 0.96 gram per tonne gold, 565.7 grams per tonne silver, 1.92 per cent lead, 5.87 per cent zinc and 0.058 per cent copper (Assessment Report 11332, part 1).

The Pins Central zone hosts quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite veins and disseminations which are associated with patchy local silicification and propylitic alteration, and may contain traces of magnetite. They appear to be small, fracture controlled mineralized zones associated with contacts of small intrusives.

In 2014, Colorado Resources Ltd. explored the Pins East area as part of the larger KSP project. Rock sampling over an 8 square kilometre area around Pins East and Pins continued to report elevated amounts of precious and base metals. Float sample 1724066, taken from a piece of gossanous quartz breccia below a cliff southwest of the Pins East showing, reported 88.2 grams per tonne gold, 43.9 grams per tonne silver, and 3.6 per cent copper (Assessment Report 35184). Soil sampling around Pins East also reported anomalous levels of copper and zinc.

In 2015, Colorado Resources conducted a limited program of soil and rock sampling, and a ground magnetometer survey at Pins East. The geophysical survey identified a northeast trending feature of high magnetic intensity approximately 350 by at least 150 metres in area. Rock sample 2637292 reported 4.85 grams per tonne gold, 9.29 grams per tonne silver, and 0.36 per cent copper (Assessment Report 35943).
