The Anticlimax (Road) occurrence is located on the east side of Moly Creek, a tributary of Fourteen Mile Creek, approximately 500 metres north 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 pegmatitic quartz feldspar intrusive hosts molybdenite and wolframite mineralization.

In 2005, three rock samples from trenches T-5 and T-6 assayed from 0.278 to 0.761 per cent molybdenum, while another select sample is reported have yielded 2.81 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 28098).

In 2006, diamond drilling intercepted (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, geological mapping and 53 diamond drill holes, totalling 21,427.2 metres, on the area as the Crazy Fox property.
