The Trixie showing lies within Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group volcanics comprised of andesitic flows, tuffs, and breccia. In 1926, Douglas Lay described the showing as "very feeble mineralization" showing malachite staining in a decomposed and sheared andesite exposed on the east bank of the creek for about 61 metres at elevation 640 metres. A sample from the copper stained outcrop yielded no significant values. A piece of siderite taken from a vein nearby was found to contain 10 per cent zinc and 3 per cent manganese. The metals are presumed to be hosted as a zinc carbonate within a quartz-carbonate vein.

In 2005, Tim Johnson discussed two copper and/or silver-bearing 'showings' but it is not clear if these were just float. The Mill was variably said to be hosted in zeolitic basalt and to be comprised of float boulders. The rock contained malachite and native copper. The Shed zone is a possible sheared zone zone in andesite or it may in fact be the float boulder occurrence that was named as the Mill. A Shed zone samp1e (STJ-05-15) yielded over 100 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 27947).

Work History

The Trixie claim was owned by F. Castell in 1926. It is situated on the north-eastern slope of Hudson Bay Mountain on an unnamed creek flowing into Toboggan Lake about 1.6 kilometres from Evelyn. In 1926, government geologist Douglas Lay visited the Trixie showing.

In 1985, copper mineralization was noted in the vicinity by Tim Johnson while exploring for potential gravel sources for farm road construction. In 2004 well-mineralized proximal float was noted on the property approximately 500 meters from the original showing. The Shed 1-6 claims were subsequently staked. In 2005, Johnson discovered the Shed and Mill showings, possibly float. Johnson failed in his attempt to locate the Trixie.
