The Ford property is adjacent to the southwest boundary of the Kimberly property Crown grants (092INE017) and is underlain by intrusive rocks of the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic Iron Mask batholith. On the property, a central core of moderately coarse grained Iron Mask Hybrid unit gabbro is bordered by moderately fine grained syenite, monzonite and diorite of the Cherry Creek unit. Fracturing is common in all rocks. A ground magnetometer survey resulted in the discovery of one outcrop within the gabbro which contained major masses of fine-grained magnetite. The magnetic survey showed the likelihood that other such zones exist which have not yet been investigated.

In 1977, geological mapping, soil sampling (714) and a ground magnetometer survey were completed on the Ford claim on behalf of British Newfoundland Exploration Limited.
