Most the Task claims are covered by glacial overburden. The only outcrops observed were Lower Cretaceous pyritic conglomerate, andesite and argillite near the western border of the Task 9 claim.

One diamond-drillhole in 1991 intersected Upper Cretaceous-Lower Tertiary quartz diorite with local quartz veinlets mineralized with pyrite and chalcopyrite and occasionally magnetite. Very minor magnetite, pyrite and rare chalcopyrite were also observed disseminated in the quartz diorite.

A sample of a 1-centimetre wide quartz veinlet with up to 4 millimetre patches of chalcopyrite analysed 0.41 per cent copper (Assessment Report 22091).

Diamond drilling in 1994 intersected crowded quartz feldspar porphyry diorite (Fish Lake stock), hornblende feldspar porphyry diorite dikes, volcanic breccia and andesite flows. Ninety per cent of the rocks drilled were mineralized with more than 2 per cent pyrite and locally minor chalcopyrite. Assays yielded up to 0.17 per cent copper, 1 gram per tonne gold and 348.6 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 23505, page i).
