The Jen 1 occurrence is located south of the Blackwater River, approximately 80 kilometres northwest of Quesnel.

The area is underlain by Cache Creek Group sedimentary and volcanic rock in contact with granodiorite and ultramafic intrusive.

Locally, a vein/shear zone, with a true width of an estimated 19 metres and a near vertical dip occurs. Alteration from the zone extends for over 50 metres into the ultramafic host.

Between 2006 and 2010, a program of prospecting, geological mapping and rock geochemical sampling was completed. Previous work in the area was performed by Rio Tinto during 1967 to 1970 and included three drill holes, totalling 469.5 metres, and various geophysical surveys. Malachite staining is reported to be extensive and represents about 1.0 per cent copper and other samples were visually estimated to contain 4 to 5 per cent copper (Assessment Report 28536).
