The Lazy showings are located on Lewis Creek, approximately 25.5 kilometres northeast of Kimberley.

At the Lazy 32 showing, chalcopyrite, pyrite and hematite occurs in quartz-siderite veins hosted by quartzites and argillaceous quartzites of the Helikian Fort Steele Formation (Purcell Supergroup). The veins are spatially related to quartz diorite sills and are in proximity to a northeast trending splay fault of the Lewis Creek fault zone.

In 1970, Texas Gulf Sulphur Company carried out geological mapping, and soil and rock sampling (Assessment Report 3092).

In 2008, Ruby Red Resources collected 185 soil samples on the Jacleg property. The Jacleg Soil Grid covered the Lazy 19 (082GNW059) and Lazy 32 showings (Assessment Report 30644).

The showing has been explored as a part of the Dewdney Trail Gold project of PJX Resources Inc., as a part of the Jack Leg (Jacleg) property. Exploration on the property prior to its acquisition by the SG Spirit Gold Inc., and subsequent option to PJX in 2010 consisted of: prospecting; follow-up soil geochemistry; rock geochemistry; trenching, data compilation into GIS format and geological mapping.

In 2010, Ruby Red Resources Inc. conducted a helicopter-borne AeroTEM System Electromagnetic and Magnetic survey in the area, referred to as the Lewis Creek Block (Assessment Report 32077).

In 2011, PJX Resources Inc. conducted geological mapping, prospecting, and rock sampling, resulting in the collection of 660 rock samples. These samples were collected from seven map areas on their Dewdney Trail property called Jacleg, Lewis Creek, Trail Creek, Upper Tackle Creek, Tackle Creek, Upper Spirit Creek, and M1 (Figure 1 Assessment Report 32868). Rock samples were collected 250 metres to the southeast just across Lewis Creek from the Lazy 32 showing.

In 2016 to 2019, PJX Resources Inc. conducted geological mapping and rock geochemistry sampling on the Dewdney Trail Property, including the Jackleg area (Assessment Reports 36649, 38859).

Refer to the Lazy 19 (082GNW059), Jacleg (082GNW135), and Goldylot (082GNW137), showings for related geological and work history detail.
