The Jade and Ogden Creeks occurrence is situated 4 kilometres southwest of Mount Ogden, approximately 40 kilometres north-northeast of Takla Landing.

Nephrite jade was initially discovered on Mount Ogden in 1967 and by 1969, 15 placer leases had been staked near the confluence of Ogden Creek and a tributary known locally as Jade Creek.

The area is underlain by variably metamorphosed sedimentary rocks assigned to the Carboniferous to Jurassic Cache Creek Complex into which Late Triassic-Early Jurassic Topley intrusions and local sill-like serpentinite bodies, formerly assigned to the Middle Permian to Late Triassic Trembleur intrusions and now termed Mississippian to Triassic Oceanic Ultramafites, have been emplaced.

Initial production occurred in 1968 when Northern Jadex Co. Ltd. shipped approximately 51 tonnes of nephrite boulders to North Vancouver. The following year, Kuan-Yin Jade Industries Ltd. shipped an 18-tonne "jade" boulder for exhibition in the British Columbia pavilion at the Osaka Exposition.

In addition to the placer leases, Northern Jadex acquired the Ed group of mineral claims and reportedly mined 45 tonnes of jade from a serpentinite bedrock source in 1970.

This occurrence is one of numerous placer and in-situ jade discoveries made in the Mount Ogden area (see 093N 157, 165).
