The Alladin occurrence is underlain by massive recrystallized limestone of the Quatsino Formation close to the contact with underlying amygdaloidal basalt of the Karmutsen Formation, both of the Upper Triassic Vancouver Group.

Galena and pyrite occur as veinlets and disseminations in a 400 by 200 metre zone of hydrothermal breccia in limestone.
