This mineral occurrence is located at the toe of the Vern Ritchie Glacier, approximately four kilometres northwest of Vern Ritchie Lake. The area is underlain predominantly by a sequence of carbonate rocks which have been recrystallized by nearby Jura-Cretaceous diorite/granodiorite plutons. A narrow band of Mesozoic amphibolite has intruded the marble and is characterized by steep north-northwest trending foliation and local gossaneous zones. One of these zones is highly mineralized and contains up to 70 per cent very fine grained massive pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and lesser bornite. This probably represents a skarn type deposit. The zone is approximately 2 by 1 metres and is concordant to the foliation of the amphibolite, which is 170/90.
