The LOST CREEK occurrence is located in the extreme northeastern headwaters of Salal Creek, approximately 700 metres east of The Elephant (Peak) and 38.3 kilometres west-southwest of Gold Bridge, B.C.

Locally, sericitic quartz stockworks and veins host fine-grained molybdenite and pyrite mineralization.

In 1965, a grab sample yielded 0.834 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 709).

From 1965 to 1966, Southwest Potash Corp. optioned the property and staked additional ground, following which they completed a program of surveying, geological mapping, reconnaissance geochemistry and diamond drilling. In 2007 and 2008, Paget Minerals conducted small exploration programs to confirm past accounts of mineralization on the Salal property.

In early 2010, Miocene Metals Ltd. conducted airborne geophysical surveys over the Salal property. In late 2010 and throughout 2012, Miocene Metals Ltd. completed extensive programs of sampling, prospecting, mapping and four diamond drill holes on the Salal property. In 2022, minor soil and silt sampling and drone photogrammetric surveys were conducted in areas of the Salal property for R. Billingsley.
