The SALAL SOUTH EAST occurrence is located on an east-facing cirque in the above Salal Creek, 1.2 kilometres east of Salal Peak and 40 kilometres west-southwest of Gold Bridge, B.C.

Locally, 1 to 20 centimetre thick quartz veins and stock works host disseminated to banded pyrite and molybdenite in a 5 metre wide fracture zone.

In 2008, three grab samples (161815, 161816 and 161817) assayed from 0.069 to 0.400 per cent molybdenite and 1.0 to 3.3 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 31091).

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.
