The Jack showing is located 28 kilometres west-northwest of Kelowna, south of Mount Eileen. The showing has been explored in conjuction with the Flap (MINFILE 082LSW119) occurrence to east, as apart of the Flapjack property.

In this area, Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Nicola Group sedimentary and volcanic rocks unconformably overlie sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Devonian to Triassic Harper Ranch Group and the Paleozoic Chapperon Group. These rocks have been intruded by Middle Jurassic granitic rocks of the informally named Terrace Creek batholith and ultramafic rocks. Volcanic and sedimentary outliers, of the Eocene Penticton Group, overlie the older units.

A quartz vein (Newman zone) in Harper Ranch Group agglomerate hosts gold mineralization. A sample analysed 2.79 grams per tonne gold (2790 parts per billion) (Assessment Report 19579).

In 1989 and 1990, Rea Gold Corporation carried out geological mapping, prospecting and soil geochemistry.

In 1995, Verdstone Gold Corp. in conjuction with Molycor Gold Corp. and Veto Resources completed a program of geological mapping, rock and soil sampling, and trenching on the property.
