The JANE showing is located on the OUTBACK property in the Granby River valley, approximately 25.5 kilometres west-southwest of the village of Edgewood.

The general area is underlain by gneiss of the Proterozoic Monashee Complex. Within the Granby River valley there is a north trending, easterly dipping normal fault, along which andesite of the Eocene Marron Formation (Penticton Group) is preserved. Co-magmatic with the Marron Formation are Eocene Coryell Intrusions which form small isolated intrusions throughout the area. The Coryell Intrusions are largely syenitic in composition, although a quartz-feldspar porphyry, 1.1 kilometres to the southeast, may be a calc-alkaline variation. The propylitically altered quartz monzonite, which hosts the JANE showing, may be an unnamed Middle Jurassic intrusion.

The JANE showing consists of a northwest trending, steeply-dipping fault hosting fine quartz stringers and breccia clasts of sulphide-rich vein material. Rusty breccia pods, which rarely exceed 30 centimetres in length, are composed of magnetite with lessor amounts of chalcopyrite and pyrite. A grab sample of a rusty-coloured felsic rock containing magnetite and chalcopyrite with azurite and malachite staining assayed 1.06 grams per tonne gold, 30.6 grams per tonne silver and 1.08 per cent copper (Assessment Report 21032).

The OUTBACK property, which includes the JANE showing, was staked in 1988-89 by the Canadian Nickel Company Limited (INCO). INCO carried out several field programs of stream sediment sampling, follow-up prospecting, soil sampling and geological mapping in 1989. The gold potential of this area was identified through the use of heavy mineral stream sediment techniques.

In 1990, INCO carried out detailed soil sampling, prospecting, geological mapping and extensive rock sampling on a number of gold-silver occurrences in this area, including the nearby CLIFF (082ENE067), BETH (082ENE068), LEAH (082ENE069), and TARA (082ENE071).

In 1991, INCO carried out a 6-hole, 807.1-metre diamond-drill program on the CLIFF (082ENE067) prospect 1.1 kilometres to the southeast. A number of drill intersections assayed greater than 0.5 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 21916). It is not recorded if additional work was done on the JANE showing at that time.
