The claims are underlain by the Mesozoic Nelson Intrusive comprised of porphyritic granite. The granite is crosscut by a series of felite dykes and quartz veins with a network of calcite veinlets. In areas, the porphyry is slightly bleached with sericitic and argillic alteration. Minor propylitic alteration obscures the original texture with a network of calcite veinlets, abundant chlorite, some epidote, pyrite and a few fluorite veinlets.

In 1986, a diamond drill hole intersected a mineralized quartz vein hosting disseminated tetrahedrite and argentite. A sample from the vein assayed 0.07 gram per tonne gold, and 530.7 grams per tonne silver. Another drill hole intersected a weakly sericitized rhyolitic felsite dyke which assayed 0.034 gram per tonne gold and 219.08 grams per tonne silver. Trac Resources Inc. drilled the property (Assessment Report 15800).
