The Gaug-West showing is located on the east side of Bennett Lake about 70 kilometres west-northwest of Atlin. A 25-metre-long adit was driven in a northeast direction.

The Gaug-West showing occurs near the contact of Lower to Middle Jurassic andesitic volcanic rocks consisting of variegated pyroclastic lapilli tuff and bladed feldspar porphyry flows with Late Triassic monzodiorite to gabbroic rocks of the Upper Triassic Stikine Plutonic Suite.

The adit exposes a quartz vein averaging 25 centimetres in width which pinches and swells along strike. The vein is surrounded by a 4-metre-wide bleached alteration zone in the host rhyolite porphyry of unknown affinity. The alteration zone can be traced for over 50 metres from the portal. The vein strikes 090 degrees and dips 55 degrees south.

Mineralization consists of up to 20 per cent arsenopyrite, 10 per cent pyrite plus disseminated to massive coarse bladed stibnite, and galena. A chip sample across 70 centimetres assayed 8.02 grams per tonne gold, 212.23 grams per tonne silver and 4.75 per cent arsenic (sample 8196, Assessment Report 12554).
