The Midas showing is underlain by andesite and dacite belonging to an unnamed Eocene volcanic sequence. Opaline quartz veinlets and coarse crystalline quartz veining are reported on the property. Trenching has revealed a gold-bearing structure (unspecified) that assayed 3.43 grams per tonne gold and 5.66 grams per tonne silver over 1 metre (Assessment Report 20238, page 17).
