The property is underlain by northeast trending, folded and metamorphosed mafic and intermediate volcanics, volcanoclastics and sediments of the Late Devonian to Early Mississippian age Eagle Bay Formation. These rocks are intruded by dykes and stocks of diorite, diabase, granodiorite and quartz porphyry.

The metavolcanics comprise a lower unit of mafic flows and breccias of basaltic composition intercalated with detrital sediment, chert lenses and intermediate volcanic rocks. These rocks are overlain by intermediate volcanic flows, breccias and volcanoclastics of andesitic to rhyodacite composition.

Structure in the area is dominated by a northeasterly trending overturned synform cut by several north trending right lateral faults.

Disseminated, veinlet and replacement pyrite, pyrrhotite and to a lesser extent chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena mineralization are hosted by metasomatized mafic volcanic flows and breccias, and dioritic phases of the granodiorite stock. This showing appears restricted to the margins of a roof pendant of the mafic volcanic sequence within the intrusion.
