The Jersey showing is located 6 kilometres southwest of the town of Brisco which is located on Highway 95 in the Rocky Mountain Trench. In 1954, the property was examined by New Jersey Zinc Co. In 1965, the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada Ltd. drilled 135 metres. In 1967, the Magnet Cove Barium Co. conducted an electromagnetic survey over the claims.

The occurrence is a showing of disseminated chalcopyrite with minor galena and pyrite in brecciated dolomite of the Middle to Upper Cambrian Jubilee Formation. The dolomite is near the contact with the Cambrian McKay Group. The mineralization is adjacent to a large Mesozoic thrust fault, the Mount Forster-Steamboat Fault (Geological Survey of Canada, Memoir 369, page 112).
