The Sail (Beale) occurrence is located approximately 10 kilometres east-southeast of the northern end of Cry Lake, and about 65 kilometres east of the Stewart-Cassiar Highway (37). The nearest community is Dease Lake, located 80 kilometres southwest of the property.

The area is primarily underlain by strongly metamorphosed and deformed metasedimentary (quartz-biotite gneiss) and metavolcanic rocks (chlorite-feldspar gneiss) with minor interlayered felsic volcanic units, of the Precambrian to Devonian Rapid River Tectonite. These are intruded and/or tectonically interleaved with Devonian to Permian ultramafic bodies and intruded by granitic stocks and dikes of the Eocene Major Hart pluton.

At the Beale showing, the quartz-sericite-pyrite schist (thrust fault unit) contains up to 13 per cent fine grained, disseminated and weakly banded pyrite, up to 4 per cent pyrrhotite, and trace to 1 per cent fine-grained chalcopyrite. The schist unit also contains up to 6 per cent dark red, fine-grained sphalerite. A grab sample (BE2016) from the showing containing 1 to 2 per cent disseminated pyrite and intense sericite alteration yielded 1.52 grams per tonne gold and 0.32 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 25932).

In 1996, the Sail claims were staked by Westmin Resources Ltd. to follow up on base metal anomalies generated during silt sampling surveys by Western Mines Limited (Westmin Resources Limited’s precursor company) in 1979 and the British Columbia Geological Survey in 1995. A number of rock and soil samples containing anomalous concentrations of gold and base metals were identified during 1996 exploration. In 1997, fieldwork comprised grid geochemical soil sampling on contour soil anomalies delineated during 1996. Mineralized float boulders containing massive sulphides were discovered; these boulders contain up to 15 per cent chalcopyrite and 65 to 80 per cent pyrrhotite within a silica-chlorite gangue. The bedrock source of the boulders was not determined in 1997 due to extremely steep topography in the apparent source area. In 1998, additional claim staking, grid geochemical soil sampling, geological mapping and rock sampling were completed to determine the source of the mineralized massive sulphide boulders and lead- and zinc-in-soil anomalies. Several mineralized showings were discovered as a result of this program (Beale, Slot (104I 134), Vader/South Vader (104I 135), Ice (104I 136) and Storm (104I 137)).

In 2013, Kaminak Gold Corporation conducted exploration on their Sail property which covers the Slot (104I 134), Vader/South Vader (104I 135) and Beale (104I 133) showings. The work consisted of a very minor amount of geochemical sampling on the Sail (Beale) showing to attempt to confirm showing samples. The property visit was conducted late in the year and snow cover limited the ability to properly identify a number of the showings mineralized rocks.
