The Jim occurrence is located on Sky Creek, a tributary of the Craig River.

The area is underlain by north-dipping sequence of fine to coarse sediments and mafic to felsic volcanic tuffs and flows of the Paleozoic (Permian and older) Stikine assemblage. Intruding the above to the northeast is the Bronson Creek stock, an orthoclase porphyry intrusion.

Locally, drilling has encountered zones of elevated pyrite content and narrow quartz-sphalerite-pyrite-galena veins.

In 1992, a six hole diamond drill hole program, totalling 1261.7 metres, was completed on EM and IP conductors located on the Jim claims. Drill hole J-92-03 returned values of 4.10 grams per tonne gold, 2.5 grams per tonne silver, 71 parts per million lead, 234 parts per million zinc and 199 parts per million copper over 1.7 metres from a felsic agglomerate (Assessment Report 22532).
