The JG showing located 1.1 km north of the Franklin Creek showing lies proximal to the southern margin of the pluton and covers a 300 by 250 m area of extensive actinolite-wollastonite-pyroxene-garnet-magnetite skarn containing abundant chalcopyrite and locally molybdenite. The JG Showing is believed to be the northerly extension of the Discovery Showing because it is at about the same stratagraphic position and has a similar composition. Chip sampling returned 0.96% copper, 0.7 g/t gold, 5.5 g/t silver over 3 m, 0.45% copper, 0.33 g/t gold, 2.2 g/t silver over 10.4 m, 0.23 % copper, with 278 ppm molybdenum over 8.1 m and 0.32% copper, 1.31 g/t gold, 6.5 g/t silver over 4.5 m.
