The Missy NE occurrence is located on a steep north-northwest–facing slope, east of a south-flowing tributary of Delano Creek and approximately 5.5 kilometres south-southeast of Yedhe Lakes.

The occurrence is in a region known as the Muskwa Anticlinorium, a major north-northwest–trending structure characterized by moderate folding and thrust faulting. The structure consists of Middle Proterozoic (Helikian) rocks of the Muskwa Assemblage, as well as Paleozoic rocks (Geological Survey of Canada Map 1343A; Geological Society of America, Geology of North America, Volume G-2, pages 111, 639). All belong to Ancestral North America (Geological Survey of Canada Map 1713A). Northeast- to northwest-trending Proterozoic diabase dikes are common in the region.

The area lies close to a thrust fault within the Aida Formation of the Muskwa Assemblage, a unit comprising mainly dolomitic mudstone and siltstone, and dolostone (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 373).

Locally, three (A, B and C), approximately 1-metre wide, calcite veins with some malachite have been identified. The A vein has been sporadically traced over a 50-metre strike length and parallels a 5-metre-wide dike. Malachite float extends for approximately 200 metres to the southwest of the A vein. The thinner B vein is poorly exposed approximately 250 metres southwest of the A vein along the contact of a mafic dike and has been traced for approximately 25 metres. Vein C is approximately 1 metre wide and is located approximately 300 metres northwest of the main Missy structure. The vein has been traced along strike for approximately 150 metres.

In 2007, a 0.15-metre grab sample (no.4) from one of the veins assayed 1.44 per cent copper and 0.10 per cent lead (Assessment Report 29756).

Work History

During 1970 through 1973, Tanjo Mines Ltd. completed programs of soil sampling, ground geophysical (magnetic and electromagnetic) surveys and a 110.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey on the area as the BY claims.

In 1979 and 1980, Halferdahl & Associates Ltd. completed a regional program of soil sampling on the area as the Tuchodi property.

In 1994, a minor program of prospecting and geochemical (rock and silt) sampling was completed on the area as the Tuchodi Basin property.

In 2005, Twenty-Seven Capital Corp. completed a regionally extensive program of geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling and a 9002.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey on the area as the Muskwa property. Also at this time, Aries Resource Corp. and Action Minerals Inc. completed a program of prospecting and sampling on the area as the Sara claims of the Trident Copper project. In 2006, Bradford Mineral Explorations Ltd. conducted 4467.0 line-kilometres airborne magnetic and electromagnetic surveys on the area as the Trident property.

In 2007, Action Minerals Inc. and Aries Resource Corp. completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping, 7 diamond drill holes, totalling 274.0 metres, and a ground electromagnetic (VLF) survey on the Missy and Angel claim groups of the Trident Copper property.
