In this area the geology consists of Karmutsen Formation andesites and minor limestone in contact to the southwest with Quatsino Formation limestone, both of the Upper Triassic Vancouver Group.

Bornite, chalcopyrite and malachite are present in strongly sheared volcanic rocks. The rocks show two shear directions, 090 degrees with a 50 degree north dip and 020 degrees with a 60 degree west dip. The strongest mineralization occurs in the east striking shear. The mineralization has been found over 4 metres in the north bank of an east flowing creek, and is capped by barren volcanic rocks.
