The Maggie occurrence is located is the bed of a small creek (Moly Creek), a tributary of Fourteen Mile Creek, approximately 600 metres east of Rong Lake.

The area is underlain by Middle to Late Triassic Nicola Group volcanic sandstone, siltstone, and conglomerate overlying mafic breccias and massive to pillowed pyroxene-phyric basalt. Cretaceous granite and quartz-feldspar porphyry intrusions approximately 1.0 kilometre in diameter intrude the Nicola Group rocks. Locally, the units are intruded by a swarm of small dikes and contain local hornfels. The granitic rocks have been offset and twisted by north easterly directed compression. The exterior of the stock is mapped as aplite and the interior as quartz monzonite to granite in composition.

Locally, a fractured fine-grained variant or aplitic phase of the quartz feldspar porphyry hosts quartz veins with pyrite and molybdenite. In 2005, a sample assayed 1.7 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 28838).

The area has been historically explored in conjunction with the Anticlimax A, B and C (MINFILE 092P 014, 092P 015 and 092P 016, respectively) occurrences and a full exploration history can be found there. During 1999 through 2013, Newmac Resources completed programs of rock and soil sampling, trenching and geological mapping on the area as the Crazy Fox property.
