The showings occur in a contorted zone containing lenses of dolomite and limestone in grey phyllite between two extensive masses of limestone. A fault striking between 340 to 360 degrees and dipping 40 to 65 degrees bounds the east side of the contorted zone.

Two groups of showings occur between 1325 and 1585 metres. The first group has a strike length of 40 metres of sparse minera- lization. Mineralized widths up to 2 metres of disseminated sphalerite and galena occur along a dolomite-phyllite contact. Irregular mineralized veinlets also occur with white and mauve crystals of fluorite, white crystalline barite and quartz.

Two hundred and fifty metres north is a second group of showings scattered over a strike length of 100 metres. Sphalerite lenses occur in limestone and occassionally in phyllite; the largest is 1.5 metres wide and 1.2 metres thick.
