The CR occurrence is located on the side of a logging road, about 68 kilometres north-northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

At the showing, epidote alteration and malachite staining are found in massive, plagioclase phyric, maroon, amygdaloidal basalt flows of an unnamed unit of the Upper Triassic Takla Group.

In 1989, minor chalcopyrite mineralization along about one kilometre of new logging road was discovered by B. Bowen and A.C. Gordon.

In 1991, five claims (JB) were staked to cover areas of copper mineralization and favourable geology. Also in 1991, a mapping crew from the British Columbia Geological Survey visited the area’s road system and two new MINFILE showings were created based on their work (Fieldwork 1991). These are CR (this description) and Nuthatch (094C 121) which occur along the main road about 3 and 2 kilometres east, respectively, of the plotted location of the JB occurrence. The CR and Nuthatch were covered by the 1991 JB claims and the 2007 NewJB claims and prospecting by Bowen appears to have occurred in the plotted area of these showings.

In 2007, owner B. Bowen completed a 2.3-kilometre-long prospecting traverse along portions of a logging road system on the NewJB 1 and 5 claims. The objective of the work was to try to locate additional mineralized float and/or outcrop. In 2010, F. Shirvani conducted a lineament study and graphic depiction of structural features and an ASTER-based spectrometric study on the JB Project claims.
