The Dave occurrence is located approximately 7 kilometres southeast of Germansen Landing, on the southwest-facing slope of a small knoll west of Jackfish Creek.

This occurrence lies in close proximity to the Manson fault zone, just north of a northwest-striking splay separating silicified argillites, phyllites and siltstones of the Upper(?) Devonian to Mississippian Big Creek Group on the south from altered gabbros of the Jurassic or older Wolf Ridge Gabbro.

This occurrence consists of malachite- and azurite-stained, milky white quartz veins containing tetrahedrite and minor pyrite. The veins are hosted by silicified gabbros of the Wolf Ridge Gabbro intrusion. The veins predominantly strike 020 degrees and dip vertically. They range from 1 to 12 centimetres in width with the larger veins containing the mineralization. The mineralized veins are typically offset by small (0.5 centimetre) calcite stringers.

A grab sample from a mineralized quartz vein yielded 0.164 gram per tonne gold, 128.0 grams per tonne silver, 0.78 per cent copper, 0.064 per cent zinc, 0.048 per cent arsenic and 0.32 per cent antimony (Open File 1989-12, Sample DME88-2-4-5).

In 2017, Angel Jade Mines Ltd. carried out a field program with the intention of locating hard-rock sources of placer gold, and to determine if gold and base metal anomalies within the listwanite exposures could be used as a vector to high-grade mineralization. The field program focused on three regions within the Manson Creek area, the Big Bend area near the southern extent of the claim group, the Gary’s Pit area within the eastern extent of the claim group and the Blackjack Creek area within the northern extent of the claim group. Between the three regions, a total of 62 rock samples were collected and assayed. The assays returned no values of economic interest and it was suggested that future exploration would benefit from structural mapping in locating the quartz-vein–hosted coarse gold.
