The Jones showing is located by Jones Creek near the British Columbia-Yukon border, about 80 kilometres south of Whitehorse.

The area of the Jones showing is situated at the south margin of the Bennett Lake Caldera Complex, within brecciated and unbrecciated quartz monzonite. The caldera is located near the eastern contact of the Coast Plutonic Complex and the Whitehorse Trough. Plutonic rocks consisting of granite and granodiorite intruded in the Middle Eocene. Two small stocks of the Paleocene to Eocene Sloko-Hyder Plutonic Suite, consisting of high-level quartz phyric, felsitic intrusive rock, are mapped to the immediate east and northwest of the Jones and Julia (104M 069) occurrences. The older plutonics are cut by rhyolite and andesite dikes and are probably related to the Sloko-Hyder stock.

Exploration began in the Partridge Lake area in 1979 when E & B Exploration Ltd. ran a regional exploration program for uranium. Doron Explorations Ltd. acquired the claims, now called the Golden Partridge property, and conducted a reconnaissance geological and geochemical program. A brief prospecting program was undertaken in 1987. Prospecting and sampling were conducted in 1988.

A small radioactive hematitic zone occurs in brecciated quartz monzonite, near a thin pegmatite dike. Radioactivity is 20 times background and a sample assayed 0.027 per cent uranium and 0.015 per cent thorium (Assessment Report 7321).
