The J.F. showing is located west of Cous Creek, at approximately 120 metres elevation, approximately 5 kilometres southwest of Port Alberni.

The area is underlain by andesite to basalt of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group).

Locally, a 10 centimetre wide limonitic fracture contains a sulphide mineralized quartz stringer.

In 1989, Brockton Resources completed a program of geological mapping, geochemical rock and soil sampling and ground geophysical surveys. A sample of the vein (JFR01) assayed 3.185 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 19346).

In 1996 through 2006, SYMC resources prospected the area as part of the Macktush property along the west side of the Alberni Inlet, now called the Dauntless property. In 2009 through 2011, G4G Resources completed programs of geological mapping and rock and soil sampling on the area as the Macktush Copper property. During 2012 through 2014, Nahminto Resources Ltd. completed exploration programs including limited prospecting, rock sampling, geological mapping and a satellite remote sensing survey and analysis on the Macktush group. A similar prospecting, geological mapping and rock sampling program was conducted on areas of the Macktush property for World Organics Inc. in 2015.
