The Jackpot showing is located on the south side of Jackpot Creek, a west flowing tributary of Schoen Creek, approximately 300 metres east of Schoen Creek.

Regionally, the area is underlain by Upper Paleozoic limestones, exposed in low lying areas east of the claims. They are overlain by, the informally named, Daonella beds, a Middle Triassic unit of black shale and siliceous tuffaceous cherts, which in turn is overlain by the Karmutsen basalts, a thick pile of pillowed and massive sub-aqueous to subaerial lavas. Intrusive rocks include Lower to Upper Triassic diabase sills (emplaced mainly in the Daonella beds), and later, large Jurassic granodiorite plutons.

Locally, two zones of mineralization, known as the Jackpot South and Jackpot Extension, are exposed on the south side of Jackpot Creek and separated by approximately 100 metres.

The Jackpot South zone consists of a north trending fault zone and mineralized tectonic breccia. The fault zone is marked by a north trending meter thick, black and pyritic phyllonite. The adjacent granite is splintered into a several meter wide, poorly sorted, with up to 0.1 metre sized, angular fragments of granite set in a mineralized matrix of chlorite-quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite-sphalerite-galena. Near the contact, local patches of disseminated chalcopyrite are also noted in the granite.

In 2010, sampling returned up to 0.233 grams per tonne gold, 96 grams per tonne silver, 1.415 per cent copper and 2.57 per cent zinc. Chip sampling yielded up to 0.506 per cent copper, 10.2 grams per tonne silver and 0.557 per cent zinc over 1 metre. Samples of till fragments returned up to 104 grams per tonne gold, 260 grams per tonne silver and 9.456 per cent copper (Assessment Report 31679).

The Jackpot Extension zone consists of thin granite dikes cutting siltstone and diabase. These are terminated by north trending faults. A mineralized fault zone, trending southwest, hosts quartz veins with chalcopyrite.

Work History

During 2000 through 2014, M. Schau, later with Interwest Enterprises Ltd., conducted numerous programs of geochemical (soil, silt and rock) and biogeochemical sampling, ground magnetic and electromagnetic surveys, trenching, geological mapping and prospecting on the area as the Flan-Consolidated property.
