The Starlight showing occurs 1.5 kilometres west of the Kitsault River, 25.5 kilometres north of the town of Alice Arm. It has been prospected for precious and base metals since 1913. The principal showing is exposed in a trench on the north side of a swamp.

The area is underlain by a sequence of volcanics and sediments of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group and the Lower-Upper Jurassic Hazelton Group. The sequence is folded into the doubly plunging, north-northwest trending Kitsault River syncline and has been regionally metamorphosed to greenschist facies.

The Starlight showing comprises a series of quartz stringers and quartz breccia veins in shear zones within a fault striking 140 degrees. These are hosted in a narrow northwest trending body of Hazelton Group greywacke and black siltstone set at the western margin of the "Copper Belt" pyritic feldspar-hornblende porphyritic andesite. This zone of veins and stringers is exposed over a strike length of 240 metres.

Mineralization consists of stringers, blebs and disseminations of pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena within the quartz breccia veins and quartz stringers. A chip sample across a 1.5 metre wide quartz breccia vein with pyrite and chalcopyrite stringers assayed 0.69 gram per tonne gold, 3.4 grams per tonne silver, 0.13 per cent copper, 0.025 per cent lead and 0.54 per cent zinc (Geology, Exploration and Mining in British Columbia 1970, page 86).

During 2010 through 2019, Dolly Silver Corporation explored the area as apart of the Dolly Varden property. A complete property exploration history can be found at the Dolly Varden (MINFILE 103P 188) occurrence.
