The Virginia K No. 1 showing is located about 500 metres east of American Creek and 1700 metres south of Kimball Lake. There are several showings on the Virginia K claims (104A 117, 118, 119).

The Virginia K claims are on the eastern limb of the open, north plunging American Creek anticline. The American Creek fault trends along the valley. The claims are underlain by rocks of the Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation (Hazelton Group) (Bulletin 58; 63). These comprise lowermost black argillites, capped by a thin limestone and overlain by tuff and minor rhyolite. The predominantly argillic sequence is, in turn, overlain by a thick sequence of purple, green and red fragmental rocks that include tuff, breccia, agglomerate and conglomerate with subordinate limestone and chert interlayers (Assessment Reports 8982, 15365).

Three types of mineralization occur on the Virginia K claims (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1932, page 59):

1. Replacement shear zone in argillite.

2. Veins between interbedded sandstone, sandy argillite and tuffs near the top of the predominantly sedimentary sequence.

3. Fracture zones consisting of quartz veins and veinlets in reticulated structures.

The Virginia K No. 1 showing lies on the Virginia K No. 1 claim (Lot 5810). The exact location is unknown. A 3 metre wide vein of galena-bearing lime gangue trends east and can be traced for about 210 metres (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1931, page 45).

In 1929, mineralization was discovered in the area. That year the Virginia K., BLK, Bryant and Dundee claim groups were staked and the Excelsior Prospecting Syndicate was formed. The Virginia K. group was staked on the east side of the valley. The exact location of the other claim groups is not known, but they were apparently staked on the west side of the valley and may have extended to the south. Excelsior discovered several silver-lead-zinc occurrences on the Virginia K. claims in 1931 and continued intermittent exploration until 1938. In 1960, Newconex performed geological mapping and sampling on the claims (Assessment Reports 16842 and 18430); the results of this work are not known. In 1980, Komody Resources Ltd. (later renamed Fest Resources Corp.) conducted further geological work, resulting in the discovery of the Dino vein on the Virginia K No. 3 claim (104A 119). In 1986, Square Gold Explorations Inc. (later renamed Glacier Resources Inc. and then Golden Glacier Resources Inc.) carried out geological mapping and sampling on part of the Virginia K group (mainly the Virginia K No. 3 and Virginia K Fraction No. 3 claims, 104A 118, 119). The following year, Carmac Resources performed geological mapping and sampling on part of the claim group (mainly the Virginia K No. 5 and Virginia K Extension No. 2 claims, 104A 117). In 1990, Northair Mines carried out talus sampling on the claims.
