The Begginners Luck occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 740 metres on a west facing slope, east of the Kitsault River and approximately 1.2 kilometres northeast of the rivers’ junction with Evindsen Creek.

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. This sequence has been regionally metamorphosed to greenschist facies.

Locally, the type of mineralization is not reported.

In 2017, a drill hole (DV17080) yielded 110.4 grams per tonne silver over 3.39 metres (2.94 metres true width) (Turner, A.J. (2019-05-08): Technical Report and Mineral Resource Update for the Dolly Varden Property).

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.
