The area is underlain by rocks of the Shuswap Metamorphic Complex. To the northeast are granodiorite, pegmatite and minor biotite gneiss. To the west are calc-silicate gneiss, biotite gneiss and minor amphibolite, which are cut by various pegmatites.

Mineralization consisting of galena and sphalerite occurs within calc-silicate gneiss. A one metre sample assayed 18.8 per cent zinc and 1.5 per cent lead. A nearby drill hole intersected minor pyrrhotite within pegmatite at 86 metres and assayed 1.1 per cent zinc over 5 centimetres.

A second showing occurs 800 metres to the south. It is up to 3 metres wide and grades average 15 per cent zinc and 0.6 per cent lead.
