The Pine Hill property lies north of the LG-3 reservoir in the James Bay region of Quebec, about 135 kilometers east of Radisson. The property consists of 68 contiguous map-designated claims covering a total area of 34.45 km2.  It is wholly-owned by NQ Exploration Inc. and is not subject to any royalties.

The property lies in the southern section of the Archean-age Bienville plutonic subprovince, about 4 km north of the contact with the La Grande subprovince. No detailed mapping has been done on the Pine Hill property. However, the geological units in the area tend to be essentially intrusive in nature, and composed of the quartz monzodiorite, monzonite and biotite monzodiorite of the Radisson pluton. All these units are cut by late Proterozoic diabase dikes striking NNW.

The Pine Hill property was covered by a regional lake sediment geochemical survey performed by Societe de développement de la Baie-James (SDBJ) in the 1970s. This survey identified five significant gold anomalies within the property boundaries, including some of the strongest in the James Bay area. The results of a till survey carried out in 2006 confirmed the gold anomalies identified by SDBJ, returning values of up to 334 ppb Au.

In the summer of 2008, NQ Exploration completed an initial field program. Work consisted of a till and heavy mineral concentrate survey (32 samples) as well as a reconnaissance geology and prospecting program that included the collection of 16 rock samples. No mineralize showings have been identified to date. Several till and heavy mineral concentrate samples returned slightly anomalous gold values.  

NQ Exploration Inc. decided to reduce the size of the property in late 2008, keeping only the part on which gold anomalies were identified in the most recent till survey. The source of these anomalies has yet to be identified.
