The Jack occurrence is located east of a small un-named lake, south of Reed Lake, approximately 16 kilometres west of McLeod Lake and 36 kilometres south-southwest of the town of Mackenzie.

Regionally, the area is underlain by basaltic volcanic rocks of the Triassic to Jurassic Takla Group and calc-silicate metamorphic rocks of the Upper Cretaceous to Eocene Wolverine Metamorphic Complex, which has been intruded by Paleogene to Neogene granitic rocks.

Locally, as defined by diamond drilling, molybdenite is hosted in a quartz porphyry sill intruding fragmental basalt, diorite and limestone.

Work History

In 1971, seven diamond drill holes, totalling 610 metres, were reported to have been completed on the area. Detailed results of the drill program are not available. In 1973, El Paso Mining and Milling Co. completed a program of geological mapping, geochemical (rock and soil) sampling and a 31.0 line-kilometre ground magnetic survey on the area as the Nick claims. A float sample of ultrabasic rock assayed 0.14 per cent nickel and 0.32 per cent copper (Assessment Report 4706).

In 1986, Plasway National Research Ltd. prospected and sampled the area. In 1989, Ezekiel l Explorations Ltd. completed a program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling on the area as the G North property. In 1990, a 124.0 line-kilometre ground magnetic and electromagnetic survey was completed on the property.

In 2004 and 2005, Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. prospected sampled the area as the Carp claims. This work identified numerous float boulders of altered peridotite yielding from 0.20 to 0.32 per cent nickel, whereas other rock samples yielded up to 0.216 per cent molybdenum (Walus, A.A. [2008-03-12]: National Instrument 43-101F1 Technical Report on Carp Property).

In 2006 and 2007, ATW Venture Corp. completed programs of prospecting, soil and rock sampling and trenching on the area as the Carp property.

In 2020 and 2021, Golden Planet Mining Corp. completed a regionally extensive program of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical (rock, till and soil) sampling and a 4851.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey on the area as the Rider property.
