The area is underlain by granite gneisses and schists of the Shuswap Metamorphic Complex, cut by pegmatite pods and syenite dykes. The pegmatite lenses are commonly 10 to 15 metres in length and 1 to 2 metres thick. They parallel the schistosity of the granite and infill crosscutting fractures.
The pegmatites are commonly 6 times background in radiometric response and over 100 times background (greater than 10,000 counts per second, BGSI-SL, Scintrex) on the discovery showing.
A 4.5 kilogram sample of the radiometric surface material assayed 0.014 per cent uranium (Assessment Report 7688).
