The Kinsley occurrence is located in the head waters of Soule Creek, approximately 1.75 kilometres south of Port Renfrew.

The area, according to Muller, is underlain by a meta-greywacke- schist unit and an argillite-meta-greywacke unit, both of the Jurassic to Cretaceous Leech River Complex (Geological Survey of Canada Open File 821). The former unit consists of meta-greywacke, meta-arkose and quartz-feldspar biotite schist; the latter consists of thinly bedded greywacke and argillite, slate, phyllite and quartz-biotite schist.

Locally, a quartz vein, up to 3.5 metres wide, with good gold values, occurs in slate. Numerous other quartz veins, trending north east, cut greywacke and schists. A rhyolites dike is also reported in the immediate area.

The vein was actively worked with about 20 metres of tunnelling at the turn of the century. In 1985, a program of rock sampling and prospecting was completed on the area as the Kinsley 1-4 claims. Sampling of an old trench, exposing a quartz vein and a rhyolite dyke, assayed up to 1.95 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 14320).

In 1997, AGC Americas Gold completed a program of geological mapping and geochemical sampling on the area as the Galleon claims. In 2005 through 2010, the area was prospected and sampled as the Yahu Creek, RocDoc and Le Baron 1-2 claims.
