The geology of the region consists of (?)Hadrynian to Paleozoic Snowshoe Group rocks. The Snowshoe Group is an assemblage of dominantly metasedimentary rocks within the Barkerville Terrane. These metasedimentary rocks comprise mainly marble, quartzite and phyllite which, in this area, are mainly undifferentiated. Metamorphism of the region varies from chlorite to sillimanite facies and higher, but most of the mineralization in the region is confined to those areas metamorphosed no higher than greenschist grade.

The F.M.Wells showing consists of quartz veins which cut schist and quartzite. There is no direct evidence for gold mineralization in these veins, but quartz veins on surrounding claims assayed gold. No other geological information is available on this showing.
