The Albert River claim area is underlain by Middle Cambrian Chancellor Group sedimentary rocks. A basal unit consists of a sequence of light and dark, thin and medium bedded argillaceous limestone with local beds of calcareous argillite containing limestone nodules. The basal unit is conformably overlain by a locally non or weakly calcareous grey shale or locally sericitic, pelitic phyllite. The grey shale unit appears conformably overlain by a commonly cream-coloured, thick bedded to massive limestone.

The sedimentary units are isoclinally folded about a gently plunging to subhorizontal north-northwest trending fold axis with north-northwest trending and steeply (80 degrees) west dipping axial planes.

Quartz-carbonate veins that range up to 1 to 2 metres thick are, for the most part, confined to the axial plane cleavages of folds. Locally, veins contain minor amounts of epidote and pyrite with chlorite alteration envelopes or pyrite and chalcopyrite with muscovite sericite alteration envelopes. In some minor cases the quartz-carbonate veins contain minor amounts of galena and sphalerite.

A 3 kilometre zone of silicification is associated with a central area of intensely anomalous tungsten and moderately anomalous copper +/- gold and lead heavy mineral geochemistry surrounded by strongly anomalous copper and lead, moderately anomalous gold-arsenic and zinc, and weakly anomalous molybdenum. The area of intensely anomalous tungsten is coincident with two magnetic highs postulated to represent possible skarn deposits near the contact of a +/- 550 metres in diameter buried intrusive cupola. This area contains localized quartz-sericite +/- andalusite alteration. A large block of intensely scheelite-mineralized marble was located by prospecting directly downslope from one of the magnetic highs (Assessment Report 22541).
