Geological Survey of Canada maps indicate the area is underlain by Hazelton Group rocks consisting mainly of volcanics with some sedimentary units. Quartz stringers and veins up to approximately 45 centimetres wide are mineralized with pyrite and minor galena. Low gold and silver values reported.

In 1988, a diamond-drillhole just west of the original showing intersected tuff hosting an irregular 2.5 centimetre quartz vein mineralized with blebs of chalcopyrite. Analysis of 15 centimetres of this core yielded 7.0 grams per tonne gold, 3.8 grams per tonne silver, 0.55 per cent zinc and 0.10 per cent copper (Assessment Report 18399, page 1).
