The Cool Creek showing is located at the headwaters of Mac Creek, 1.5 kilometres northwest of the Ashnola River and 2.7 kilometres northeast of McBride Creek.

An extensive area northwest of the Ashnola River, between McBride Creek and Cool Creek, is underlain by Middle to Late Cretaceous felsic intrusions that may be subvolcanic equivalents of the Spences Bridge Group. These intrusions are in turn cut by small stocks and dikes of quartz porphyry and quartz diorite to quartz monzonite in the vicinity of McBride Creek. The various intrusives are cut by dacite and andesite dikes.

Outcrops of Lower Jurassic gabbroic rock occur between Cool and Young creeks. Anomalous gold occurs in rocks and soils northeast of Cool Creek. In the southwest of the property, local high gold values are associated with elevated silver and arsenic. Two anomalous gold zones occur on the property. The Cool zone, to the northeast, is associated with conglomerate and rhyolite and major fracture intersections. In the southeast, a broad area of elevated gold, silver, arsenic, antimony and lead occurs on the Mac claims. This area at the headwaters of Mac Creek is underlain by grey-weathering feldspar porphyritic rhyolite. A rock sample of this rhyolite taken in 1984 contained 12 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 13370, page 19, sample GOP-0131).

Between 1960 and 1979, extensive work, including diamond drilling, geochemical and geophysical surveying, mapping and trenching, was carried out on the Ash (MINFILE 092HSE094) showing to the immediate south of the Cool Creek showing. In 1983, based on anomalous gold and arsenic stream sediment samples, MineQuest Exploration Associates Ltd. staked claims over the Cool Creek showing. Between 1983 and 1985, Minequest conducted geological mapping, and soil and rock sampling.

Norman L. Tribe staked 32 claims on the Ash (MINFILE 092HSE094), CU (MINFILE 092HSE189) and Cool Creek showings in July 2003. Between 2004 and 2007, Tribe completed outcrop mapping over a 6 kilometre traverse. In 2011, Tribe optioned the property to Charlotte Resources Ltd. Later that year, Rich River Exploration Ltd. conducted a field exploration program consisting of prospecting and rock, soil and silt sampling.
