The Wispy showing on the Sure Bet claim is located 33 kilometres northwest of the town of Kimberly and 1.5 kilometres of the south end of Lazy Lake.

The Wispy area is underlain by quartzite and quartz arenite of the Lower Aldridge Formation. The Wispy showing occurs within thin cherty lenses/beds (up to 10 centimetres thick) that have disseminated and wispy galena, possibly indicative of exhalative sulphide mineralization. Another outcrop of the host lithology occurs about 350 metres to the east.

During the fall of 2012 a prospecting program was conducted PJX Resources on their Sure Bet property (Assessment Report 33761). No rock samples were taken for assay.

Refer to the Sure Bet occurrence (082GNW119) 800 metres southwest, and the SB occurrence (082GNW120) 800 metres northeast of the Wispy.
