The adit of the Gaug 1 showing is located on the east side of Bennett Lake and is driven horizontally into the lower portion of an altered shear zone. The adit is in good shape and is about 1 by 1.5 metres in width and 15 metres long.

The Gaug 1 showing occurs in an area underlain by Late Triassic rocks of the Stikine Plutonic Suite. These rocks are in contact with basaltic volcanic rocks of the Devonian to Middle Triassic Boundary Ranges Metamorphic Suite to the west, and Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic rocks consisting of conglomerate and coarse clastic sedimentary rocks to the east.

The shearing occurs in granodiorite. The shear zone, 4 metres wide and at least 10 metres long, strikes east to southeast, and dips moderately northeast. Mineralization consists of a 30-centimetre-wide section of disseminated to massive chalcopyrite, magnetite, minor pyrite and bornite. Malachite/Azurite staining extends 1.0 metre outward from the mineralized zone. Malachite staining covers the walls of the adit.

The highest value from grab samples of massive sulphides taken from above the adit was 9.49 per cent copper and 93.94 grams per tonne silver (sample 7700A) and a grab sample of malachite-stained granodiorite assayed 3.26 per cent copper and 28.46 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 11044). A grab sample of malachite-stained sheared granodiorite taken from an outcrop 450 metres below the adit assayed 0.5 per cent copper (Assessment Report 19186).
