The GOLD RECOVERIES LTD. (Kay) showing area is on the northwest side of Cariboo Lake, near the mouth of Kay Creek, 23 kilometres northeast of Likely.

The geology of the region consists of (?)Hadrynian to Paleozoic Snowshoe Group rocks. The Snowshoe Group is an assemblage of dominantly metasedimentary rocks within the Barkerville Terrane. These metasedimentary rocks comprise mainly marble, quartzite and phyllite and are, in this area, mainly undifferentiated. Metamorphism of the region varies from chlorite to sillimanite facies and higher, but most of the mineralization in the region is confined to those areas metamorphosed no higher than greenschist grade.

The Gold Recoveries Ltd. showing consists of graphitic and sericitic schist in which two zones of quartz-ankerite veins, lenses and stringers have associated pyrite and galena mineralization.

From 1999 through 2025, Barker Minerals Ltd. conducted programs of geological mapping, float rock, till, soil and stream sediment sampling across several areas on the Frank Creek (Cariboo Lake) property. Soil sampling was conducted in the Kay and SCR areas in 2016. One soil sample in the Kay area returned 7.71 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 37167). The following year a float rock sample from the Kay area returned a value of 15.49 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 37439).
