The Jake Corridor occurrence is located on the southern slopes of Clearwater Peak, approximately 2.6 kilometres west-southwest of Star Lake. The area has been explored in conjunction with the Jake Gold (MINFILE 092P 195) occurrence, located approximately 450 metres to the south east.

The area is underlain by fine-grained volcanic tuffs and basaltic volcanic rocks of the Pennsylvanian-Permian Fennel Formation (Slide Mountain Group).

Locally, as indicated by drilling, narrow fissures host sulphide mineralization with gold values. Sulphide mineralization is described as being similar to the Jake Gold (MINFILE 092P 195) occurrence and is assumed to consist primarily of pyrrhotite.

In 2007, a drill hole (J-DDH-07-07) intercepted 2.5 metres averaging 1.0 gram per tonne gold, including 9.49 grams per tonne gold over 0.2 metre (Assessment Report 32044).

The area was originally explored, in 1972 by Pan Ocean Oil Limited, as the CP claim block. A program of prospecting, soil sampling and geological mapping was completed at this time. In 2005, the area was prospected by M.A. Kaufman as the Jake Gold property. 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 survey. 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.
