The Jake Gold showing is located on the north side of Mann Creek, 2.5 kilometres southwest of Star Lake and approximately 13 kilometres west of Clearwater.
The area is underlain by fine-grained volcanic tuffs and basaltic volcanic rocks of the Pennsylvanian-Permian Fennel Formation (Slide Mountain Group).
Locally, a 2 metre wide, north- northwest striking, steep south west dipping, mineralized, chloritic-shear zone occurs. Mineralization consists of a chloritic envelope, which encloses massive sulphides, mainly pyrrhotite, associated with quartz veining. The shear has been sampled over a 20 metre strike length and is open and untested along strike and depth.
In 2005, three composite samples of the showing were collected and assayed an average of 18.8 grams per tonne gold, with a high of 27.5 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 27936).
In 2007, a 1.8 metre chip sample across the structure assayed 9.05 parts per million gold, including 0.6 metre of 19.3 parts per million gold. Drilling, the same year, assayed 11.34 parts per million gold over 1.5 metres, including 0.6 metre at 27.8 parts per million gold (Assessment Report 32044).
The area was originally explored, in 1972 by Pan Ocean Oil Limited, as the CP claim. A program of prospecting, soil sampling and geological mapping was completed at this time. The showing was discovered by M.A. Kaufman while prospecting in 2005. In 2006, Rimfire Minerals Corp. optioned the claims and conducted a program of trenching, geochemical sampling and a VLF- EM magnetometer survey over the showing. In 2007, Rimfire was joined by Island Arc Exploration, who conducted limited IP surveys and excavator trenching across the discovery showing and a few portions of IP anomalies and 1,083 metres of core drilling in seven holes, which tested the discovery showing and some anomalous IP areas. In 2008, the joint venture expanded the IP coverage with an additional 21 line-kilometres of surveying. During 2009 through 2013, programs of rock, silt and soil sampling, geophysical surveys, geological mapping, test pitting and two diamond drill holes, totalling 304.7 metres, were completed by M.A. Kaufman.
