The Lazy showings are located on Lewis Creek, approximately 26.5 kilometres northeast of Kimberley.

At the Lazy 19 showing, chalcopyrite, pyrite and hematite occurs in quartz-siderite veins hosted by quartzites and argillaceous quartzite of the Helikian Fort Steele Formation (Purcell Supergroup). The veins are commonly related to quartz diorite sills in proximity to the Lewis Creek fault zone.

In addition, sparse chalcopyrite, pyrite and perhaps chalcocite is disseminated within clean, white, massive quartzite which is silicified and well-jointed. Malachite and azurite are noted in minor amounts on weathered surfaces. This copper mineralization appears limited to the top 20 to 30 metres of a massive quartzite immediately underlying an interbedded quartzite-argillite sequence. Copper values are generally low, in the 0.01 to 0.05 per cent copper range, with about 0.5 to 1.4 grams silver associated.

WORK HISTORY

In 1970, Texas Gulf Sulphur Company carried out geological mapping, and soil and rock sampling. Sample 1809 returned 0.05 per cent copper over 6 metres (Assessment Report 3092).

Samples collected in 2000/2001 by National Gold in the Lazy 19 area returned values of up to 0.87 gram per tonne (Assessment Report 26905).

In 1993, a total of 100 rock samples and 1216 soil samples were collected by Inco Limited on their Lewis Creek property. The soil grid extended west about 3 kilometres from Lazy Lake and roughly 4 kilometres south from Lazy Lake (Assessment Report 23115). Three "copper-bearing showings", the CR, Main, and Malachite were discovered, all close to the Lazy 19 occurrence (Map 1).

In 2004 the property was optioned to Ruby Red Resources of Calgary who completed additional soil surveys in the area and in 2007 drilled 4 holes (JL-07-1 (abandoned), JL-07-2, LL-07-1, and LL-07-2). Hole JL-07-2, about 200 metres west-southwest of Lazy 19 was collared to test a surface exposure of disseminated copper sulphides hosted in Fort Steele Formation quartzites. Anomalous copper was returned over a 30-metre interval with the highest assay being 0.115 per cent over 1 metre (Assessment Report 29808). The hole was extended, after passing through the copper zone, to test the Lewis Creek Fault. The Lewis Creek fault zone was intersected at 100 metres depth and consisted of a 6-metre-thick zone of crushed quartz, possibly Fort Steele Formation quartzites, overlying a stronger fault ‘core’ of 4.5 meters that graded downward into a crushed gabbro. Gold values returned from the fault hosted by irregular patches and lenses of quartz with hematite and pyrite returned values up to 2.08 grams per tonne gold over 45 centimetres (Sample 81594) and 0.61 gram per tonne gold over 1.0 meter (Assessment Report 29808). The hole demonstrated the Lewis Creek Fault to be a mineralized structure. Subsequent work on the property by Ruby Red Resources included additional soil sampling.

In 2008, Ruby Red Resources collected 185 soil samples on the Jacleg property. The Jacleg Soil Grid covered the Lazy 19 (082GNW059) and Lazy 32 showings (Assessment Report 30644).

In 2010 the property was optioned from Spirit Gold Inc (formerly Ruby Red Resources) by PJX Resources who proceeded to fly an airborne mag-em survey over the south-western portion of the Jacleg property. The survey produced a series of magnetic anomalies which appear to be aligned in a northerly trend. Some of these magnetic anomalies were spatially associated with known gold mineralization in outcrop and may be associated with buried Cretaceous felsic intrusions, a feature common in the region. Follow up prospecting by PJX discovered a series of ‘new’ gold showings, some with previously unknown workings, associated with the magnetic anomalies. At the Finding Jackson showing gold up to 10 grams per tonne was returned from magnetite bearing quartz veins near where a gabbro is terminated by a north-northwest trending fault.

In 2010, Ruby Red Resources Inc. conducted a helicopter-borne AeroTEM System Electromagnetic and Magnetic survey in the area, referred to as the Lewis Creek Block (Assessment Report 32077).

In early 2012 field season PJX Resources conducted a program consisting of geological mapping, prospecting, and rock sampling (55 samples) on the Jacleg block in southeast BC Assessment Report 33700). Work was completed primarily in the Wolf Creek area located in the north central portion of the property.

In 2016 to 2019, PJX Resources Inc. conducted geological mapping and rock geochemistry sampling on the Dewdney Trail Property, including the Jackleg area (Assessment Reports 36649, 38859). A sample (Mkx18-76) near the Lazy 38 assayed 1.04 grams per tonne gold (Rock Geochemistry Map, Assessment Report 38859).
