The Nelson 3 showing is located about 30 kilometres east-northeast of Stewart, just south of the Nelson Glacier. The Nelson property also includes the Nelson 2 (104A 151) and Nelson 2 South (104A 167) showings.

The area may have been explored in the late 1970s for porphyry-type mineralization but there are no records available. In 1986(?), Noranda Exploration Company Ltd. acquired the Nel 1-4 claims over the area and carried out prospecting and silt sampling. The work failed to encounter any significant mineralization with the exception of an anomalous gold value in a silt sample from the north side of the Nelson Glacier. In 1988, Bond Gold Canada Inc. staked the Nelson 1-3 claims over the area and, in 1989, performed reconnaissance geological mapping and sampling. The showing, on the Nelson 3 claim, was described that year. In 1991, Bond prospected the Nelson property.

The area is underlain by Hazelton Group rocks. The showing occurs in andesitic volcanics of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation. The rocks comprise andesitic tuffs and flows that are intruded by a northwest-trending swarm of dikes of similar composition (Assessment Report 19424). A previously unmapped porphyritic granodiorite stock lies about 1.5 kilometres to the west.

An extensive gossanous area is developed in the andesitic volcanics on the south side of the Nelson Glacier. A sample of the limonitic rocks, containing 70 to 85 per cent pyrite and pyrrhotite, assayed 0.15 per cent copper, 0.18 gram per tonne gold and 5.6 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 19424).

In 2005, a helicopter-borne AeroTEM II electromagnetic and magnetic survey was carried out on behalf of Teuton Resources Corp. over the Del Norte-Midas property and a total of 1299.5 line-kilometres was flown.

During 2017 through 2019, Teuton Resources completed programs of geochemical (rock and soil) sampling, an airborne geophysical (ZTEM and magnetic) survey and four diamond drillholes on the Del Norte property.
