I'm trying to create a reference point on the intersection of a circle and an axis, see attached, is this possible?

Try creating a new 3D sketch and select the circle and axis as intersect - add a sketch point. If you can't select the axis directly you will need to create a plane along the axis and then add your point to that plane. Is the axis on the same plane as the circle?
 
Yeah the axis and circle are on the same plane
 
So apparently axes are not valid objects for creating a reference point from intersection.

Why I dont know but that's the case.
