The Alberta occurrence is located near the centre of the Upper Triassic Hickman batholith. The batholith is extremely heterogeneous, ranging from granodiorite to hornblendite. The showing occurs in a volcanic pendant within granodiorite to quartz diorite. The pendant consists of intermediate to mafic flows and pyroclastic rocks which could be Permian or Upper Triassic in age.

Mineralization consists of magnetite, chalcopyrite and minor malachite within fractures in the volcanic rocks.
