The JO showing is located on a ridge top west of Georgie River approximately 3 kilometres east of the Portland Canal. It is situated 22 kilometres south (195°) of Stewart, B.C.
Regionally, the area lies adjacent to and includes moderately folded volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group intruded by a succession of plutons (Hyder) of the Eocene Coast Plutonic Complex. Hazelton Group rocks include a variety of sandstones, conglomerates and breccias as well as minor intercalated tuffs, siltstones and flow material. Granodiorite is the dominant rock of the Coast Plutonic Complex but stocks and plutons vary from quartz monzonite, quartz diorite to granite. Numerous dike swarms range in composition from granite, quartz monzonite, granodiorite and quartz diorite.
The Jo showing is underlain by north trending Hazelton Group andesitic tuffs and flows intruded by granodiorite dikes and possibly sills. The rocks have been locally subjected to strong shearing movements and are generally altered to a chloritic foliated rock. Two sets of lineaments strike 340 and 010 degrees with steep dips east and west.
Mineralization consists of pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, magnetite and minor bornite within shear zones, sometimes silicified, near granodiorite dikes. Chlorite and epidote alteration extends up to 2 metres into the wallrock. Carbonate and sericite are also evident. Quartz veining occurs in some zones with associated sulphide mineralization.
A northwest trending schistose shear zone 1.21 metres wide is exposed over a strike length of 28 metres. Grab samples of the sulphide-rich zone assayed up to 1.91 grams per tonne gold, 48.67 grams per tonne silver and 22.6 per cent copper (Assessment Report 12630).
Granby Gold Inc. conducted airborne magnetometer and gamma ray spectrometry surveys (and geological interpretation of the same) over their East Georgie River project area, including the JO showing, from 2017 to 2020.
