The F9 zone of the FRANK CREEK property is located approximately 900 metres west-southwest of the (F7) Frank Creek prospect (MINFILE 093A 152) on Frank Creek on the southeast side of Cariboo Lake. The Frank Creek (F9) occurrence is situated 19 kilometres northeast of the village of Likely and 83 kilometres northeast of the city of Williams Lake. Access to the Cariboo Lake area is via gravel logging roads bearing northeast from Likely.

Regionally, the area is underlain by the Snowshoe Group, Harveys Ridge Succession of the Barkerville terrane.

Mineralization occurs as fine-grained pyrite with local disseminations and wispy bands of chalcopyrite, pale-brown sphalerite and galena. Fractures and a foliation-parallel fabric contain coarser-grained base metal sulphides with silica ±chlorite. Enclosing rocks are an overturned package of phyllitic argillites, reworked felsic pyroclastics and pillow basalts mapped as part of the Paleozoic Snowshoe Group (Harveys Ridge succession).

In 2007, Barker Minerals Ltd. completed an exploration program of trenching, rock sampling and soil geochemistry. Trench FC07-TR4a produced a grab sample (sample TR5201-17) that assayed 1.23 per cent copper, 2.9 per cent lead and 3.73 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 29740).

In 2008, Barker Minerals Ltd. completed a 13-hole drill program totalling 2375 metres. Highlights include drillhole FC08-35, which assayed 0.25 per cent zinc over 24.49 metres (Assessment Report 30764).

In 2009, Barker Minerals Ltd. completed an exploration program of rock sampling, trenching and diamond drilling at Frank Creek. Highlights of the rock sampling includes sample TR0837, which assayed 1.59 per cent lead, 0.92 per cent zinc, 0.23 per cent copper and 54 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 31389).

In 2011, Barker Minerals Ltd. drilled eight holes totalling 422.02 metres at Frank Creek. Highlights include drillhole FC11-08, which assayed 1.6 per cent zinc, 0.13 per cent copper and 4.58 grams per tonne silver over 1.4 metres (Assessment Report 32696).

In 2013, 6 diamond drill holes were completed at Frank Creek; 5 targeted the Frank Creek prospect (FC2013-09 to 13) and 1 was drilled on the Frank Creek (F9) showing (FC-2013-14), 900 metres to the west-southwest. The hole at F9 intersected small lenses of massive and semi-massive sulphides; a 24cm rotted lens of massive sulphide rich in chromium-mica and three semi-massive sulphide lenses in the upper 17 metres of the hole (55, 34 and 22 centimetres, respectively). A small 3cm band of massive chalcopyrite was intercepted at 65.23 metres shortly before the termination of the hole. Nineteen test pits were also excavated in the vicinity of the F9 showing to expose bedrock in hopes of revealing the extension of the mineralized horizon found in trench FC08-TR1. The geology exposed was mostly a blue quartz-muscovite schist unit, locally oxidized due to disseminated coarse-grained pyrite cubes. (Assessment Report 34331). Soil and rock samples collected from these test pits were analysed the following year (Assessment Report 35012).

In 2016, Barker Minerals Ltd. conducted a rock sampling program on the Frank Creek property. In total, 136 rock samples were collected from surface float. Zinc, copper and lead anomalies occurred in argillites and sandstones. Sample 286 contained a highly anomalous gold value with 501.2 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 36449). The next highest grading sample, sample 289, assayed 14.63 grams per tonne gold, 0.025 per cent copper and 0.058 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 36449).

From 2019 through 2025, programs of geological mapping, float rock, till, soil and stream sediment sampling were conducted across several areas on the Frank Creek (Cariboo Lake) property.
