The Mazie prospect is 1.4 kilometres southeast of the confluence of Forty-seven and Whipsaw creeks, 24.5 kilometres southwest of Princeton.
The area is underlain by andesitic to dacitic pyroclastics, flows and sediments of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group. Various intrusive and metamorphic rocks of the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Eagle Plutonic Complex outcrop 4 kilometres to the southwest.
In 1962, Mazie Mines Ltd. excavated a 60-metre long adit in order to intersect at depth a zone of mineralization uncovered by trenching. The company mined 2.7 tonnes of ore, which yielded 124 grams of silver and 62 kilograms of lead (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1963, page A48).
In 1971, Kerr Addison Mines Limited completed a program of prospecting, soil sampling, minor test pitting, an airborne magnetometer survey and a ground S.P. survey on the area as the Dale claims. In 1982, Chimera Resources completed a program of soil sampling on the area as the Violet claims.
