Complexly deformed metasediments of the Proterozoic to Early Paleozoic Snowshoe and Cariboo groups comprise the rocks in the area. At the Vic Barite occurrence, the rock units strike northwesterly with steep northeasterly dips. Faults strike north to northeast. The oldest rocks on the property consist of dark siltstone, quartzite and shale of the Midas Formation of the Upper Proterozoic to Lower Cambrian Cariboo Group. Marble of the Permian Bralco succession of the Snowshoe Group has also been observed. The youngest rocks are black siltstone, argillite, phyllite and micaceous quartzite of the Hardscrabble succession of the Snowshoe Group, and is the host for barite.

The barite is 0.25 to 1.0 metres thick, laminated to thin bedded and siliceous and is very pale grey to cream coloured (D. Hora, S. Butrenchuk, personal communication, 1993). See Vic (093A 070) for related information.
