The Gold Recoveries Ltd. showing area is on the west side of Cariboo Lake, near Kay Creek, about 23 kilometres northeast of Likely.

The geology of the region consists of (?)Hadrynian to Paleozoic Snowshoe Group rocks. The Snowshoe Group is an assemblage of dominantly metasedimentary rocks within the Barkerville Terrane. These metasedimentary rocks comprise mainly marble, quartzite and phyllite and are, in this area, mainly undifferentiated. Metamorphism of the region varies from chlorite to sillimanite facies and higher, but most of the mineralization in the region is confined to those areas metamorphosed no higher than greenschist grade.

The Gold Recoveries Ltd. showing consists of graphitic and sericitic schist in which two zones of quartz-ankerite veins, lenses and stringers have associated pyrite and galena mineralization.
