The Trout molybdenite showing is exposed along a roadcut 300 metres northeast of Galena Creek, 1.0 kilometre south-southeast of the south end of Lac Le Ronne and 3.1 kilometres northeast of Galena Lake.

Minor molybdenite occurs in an outcrop of chloritized quartz monzonite of the Middle Jurassic Osprey Lake batholith. The quartz monzonite is also weakly veined with quartz.

Work History

In 1980 and 1981, Cominco Ltd. completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping and soil sampling on the area as the Trout claims.

The area immediately west of the occurrence has been explored as part of the Elk (MINFILE 092HNE096) occurrence and a complete exploration summary of the area can be found there.
