The Syenite showing occurs near, or at, the regionally mapped faulted contact of a McLymont Plutonic Suite pluton (to the east) and Upper Paleozoic sedimentary and/or volcanic rocks of the Stikine Assemblage (on the west).

Syenite-monzonite outcrops are exposed on gentle slopes, above a large alluvial plain, at 1220 metres elevation. Random sampling of quartz veins and segregations within a syenite-monzonite stock produced several anomalous gold results including 24.89 grams per tonne gold produced from a massive, dark grey lense-shaped quartz lens, 0.50 metre long by 0.30 metre wide (Assessment Report 18506). The pyritic lens occupies a widening of a syenite-monzonite hosted fracture which trends 030 degrees.

Structural and orthophoto interpretation work was performed on the Gab 5 to 10 claim area in 1987 on behalf of Northwest Gold Syndicate. A 105.67 kilometre airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey was completed. Minor prospecting occurred on the Gab 7 and 9 and Ken zone.

During the 1988 field season, geological mapping, prospecting and trenching was carried out over the Gab 7, 8 and 10 claim area for Pezgold Resource Corporation. The Syenite zone was discovered just off the Gab 8 claim, to the southeast.

In 2014, Romios Gold Resources Inc. conducted a prospecting and sampling program that included the evaluation of various showings and mineralized occurrences on the Newmont Lake and Trek Properties. A total of 314 rock chip samples and reconnaissance rock samples and 26 stream silt samples were collected.

In 2015, Romios Gold reported that a program of additional prospecting and sampling was carried out on the Burgundy Ridge discovery (Exploration and Mining in British Columbia 2015, page 135)

No work is reported for 2016 or 2017.

In January and February 2018, Geotech Ltd. carried out a helicopter-borne Versatile Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) and aeromagnetic geophysical survey on behalf of Romios Gold Resources Inc. The survey covered three claim blocks: DIRK, KEN and NORTHWEST comprising parts of the Newmont Lake property and covered a total of 714 line-kilometres (Assessment Report 37492, containing Geotech Ltd Geophysical Report (Appendix Two)). The Syenite occurrence is located within the Northwest Block, near its northeastern edge, in an area of low magnetism just east of a small magnetic high area. The nearest VTEM anomaly is 2 kilometres to the northwest.

In 2019, Crystal Lake conducted a drill program, on the Burgundy Ridge prospect area (104B 325) and the Northwest deposit. They also conducted extensive grassroots exploration.

See Northwest (104B 281) for details of work after the amalgamation of tenures by Romious Gold in the 2000s, when airborne geophysics was done over significant land areas.
