The area of the Bodwar South is underlain by felsic volcanic and sedimentary members of the Upper Triassic to Jurassic Sitlika Assemblage.

Drillhole 9012 was the southernmost drillhole on the Bodine-Warren property in 2009. This hole targeted a strong copper soil anomaly straddling the contact between felsic tuff and overlying argillite. Stratigraphy targeted by 9012 was along strike with similar stratigraphy tested in 2008 by hole 8007, some 1.5 kilometres north of 9012. A 6.1 metre interval (from 175 to 181.1 metres) assayed 0.17 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 31438). Pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite were noted in core in this interval. The interval was described as blue-green coherent to locally microbrecciated, weakly chloritic fine-grained quartzitic siltites.

The rock alteration and sulphide development in hole 9012 was less intense than in hole 8007. The Eastern Sitlika contact is likely structural and appears to have moved up and into the central volcanic rock package resulting in the loss of part of the felsic volcanic, pillowed mafic volcanic and volcaniclastic section, and the absence of a significant sulphide system.

The distribution and tenor of the zinc mineralization found in drillholes was thought to be compatible with a peripheral VMS depositional environment.
