The KC occurrence is located between the Croydon and Kliyul creeks, approximately 12 kilometres northeast of Dortatelle Peak (Assessment Report 13580).

Regionally, the area is within the Quesnel Terrane which lies to the east of the Findlay-Ingenika fault system. The strata consist of Upper Triassic Takla Group rocks. In the area, these rocks are predominantly volcanic and consist of mafic to intermediate flows, volcanic breccias and tuffs with minor sediments.

Locally, the area is underlain by andesitic tuffs, minor intercalated greywackes and calcareous argillites, and hornblende or feldspar porphyry flows of the Takla Group. These rocks are intruded by hornblende diorite, dioritic feldspar porphyry dykes and biotite hornblende monzonite porphyry phases of the Early Cretaceous Kliyul Creek body. Emplacement of the intrusive rocks appears to be controlled by a southeast trending splay of the Dortatelle fault (Assessment Report 13580). A 100- to 300-metre-wide alteration zone has formed where this fault cuts the andesitic rocks. Alteration minerals include quartz, sericite, chlorite, carbonate and pyrite.

The KC occurrence is described as a north trending silicified fracture zone containing stringers of galena, sphalerite and magnetite. Malachite staining is common along these stringers and fractures. The veins and stringers are pyritiferous and consist of either quartz or quartz-carbonate. One of the best grab samples assayed 16.2 grams per tonne gold, 3.1 grams per tonne silver, 0.158 per cent lead and 0.132 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 13580).

In 1984, Golden Rule Resources, explored the potential of gold-bearing quartz veins on their KC claims which included Independence (094D 028) and Banjo (Bap) (094D 029). They reported an extensive 70 degree striking, variably silicified, fracture zone hosting 0.2 metre to 1.3 metre-wide quartz veins in regions of intense fracturing and silicification. Cross-fracturing in the quartz veins were described as mineralized with up to 30 pyrite and lesser galena, chalcopyrite and sphalerite; float samples assayed up to 122 grams per tonne gold and 70 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 13580)

In 1992 Noranda carried out 1:5,000 scale geological and alteration mapping and in 1993, they drilled 6 reverse circulation holes on the Kliyul skarn zone (Assessment Report 23033) and followed up with an airborne magnetic, EM, and radiometric survey (Assessment Report 23379). This airborne survey also covered (or nearly covered) 25 MINFILE occurrences including KC (094D 140).
