The Oakla showing is located at an elevation of approximately 900 metres on the east side of small hill, west of Tchesinkut Lake and approximately 5.5 kilometres north of the community of Francois Lake.
The region is underlain by Lower Jurassic strata into which felsic plutons of the Upper Jurassic Francois Lake Suite have been intruded. Volcanics of the Upper Cretaceous to Neogene Ootsa Lake Group overlie these rocks.
The Oakla showing comprises pyritic veins cutting grey-green andesite of the Ootsa Lake Group.
A sample of one of these veins assayed 18.5 grams per tonne gold (Annual Report 1923, p. 119).
