The Hixon mica showing occurs within the (?)Hadrynian to Paleozoic Snowshoe Group of the Barkerville Terrane, adjacent to the western contact with the Quesnellia Terrane. The dominant rock types are metasedimentary which range from paragneiss to various schist types and marbles depending on the degree of metamorphism and deformation. The Snowshoe Group also contains some metamorphosed igneous units. The area of the showing is underlain by gneiss which grades into a mica schist. No other information is available.
