The area is underlain by Permian to Jurassic Hozameen Complex rocks comprised mainly of chert, pelite and greenstone with minor interbedded limestone.

The Utah showing was comprised of four claims. In 1911, a 11.3- metre adit was driven along a bed of oxidized, limonitic sulphide- bearing limestone. The limestone is crosscut by small quartz stringers hosting pyrite and chalcopyrite. Chalcopyrite and pyrite are also disseminated throughout the limestone.

In 1911, a sample taken from the adit containing quartz, calcite, pyrite and chalcopyrite yielded no trace of gold.
