In 1938, the Rose Group consisted of the Rose (Lot 5979) and Louise Fraction (Lot 5980) mineral claims and owned by A.S. Johnson of Montreal, Quebec. The claims, on both sides of Chapleau Creek, adjoin the Kilo ground (082FNW131) on the east and southeast. No development on this ground is reported since 1899, and although there is evidence of that development, none is in condition for purposes of examination or is worthy of rehabilitation (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1938, page E8).

On Chapleau Creek, at an elevation of 1371 metres, there is a small pile of apparently selected vein material from irregular exposures of quartz vein in granite hostrock, evident in place in the creek bottom. The vein quartz is milky and massive, heavily fractured with healing of the fractures by later quartz. Sulphide mineralization is mainly medium to coarse grained pyrite and galena with probable sphalerite. Two grab samples taken from this ore pile assayed from 14.3 to 699.3 grams per tonne gold and 6.8 to 363.3 grams per tonne silver (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1938, page E8).

The granite host is inferred to be part of the Middle Jurassic Nelson intrusions.

King Jack Resources Ltd. conducted surveys on the Chapleau Creek property between 1985 to 1987.
