The Manchester occurrence is located on the north side of Manchester Creek, a tributary of Perry Creek, at an elevation of approximately 1650 metres.

The area is underlain by sedimentary rocks of the middle Creston Formation intruded at their (faulted) contact with Kitchener Formation by diorite sills of the Moyie Intrusions; all these units belong to the mid-Proterozoic Purcell Supergroup.

Locally, a quartz vein hosts silver mineralization. A former adit, possibly related to placer gold mining, is reported across the creek to the south.

In 1979, a 1.2-metre chip sample (3376B) assayed 15.8 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 7723).

In 1978, Meridian Resources completed a program of geochemical sampling and geological mapping on the area as the Luke group. During 1979 through 1985, Gallant Gold Mines completed programs of rock, soil and silt sampling, trenching, geological mapping and ground electromagnetic and magnetic surveying on the area as the Perry Creek property. In 1984, Trans-Artic Explorations completed a program of geological mapping and a ground electromagnetic survey on the area. In 1987, Chapleau Resources completed a program of soil, silt and rock sampling, trenching and geological mapping on the area as the Racki claims, Morgan property. In 2016, West Gold Corp. completed a program of prospecting, rock sampling and geological mapping.
