The area is underlain by Jurassic volcanics and clastic sediments of the Yakoun and Maude groups, which are intruded by the Sheila Lake Pluton of the Tertiary Kano Plutonic Suite. All rocks are overlain by Tertiary volcanics of the Masset Formation, consisting of basalt flows, and rhyolite and dacite pyroclastics.

The showing consists of abundant quartz-pyrite and chalcedony veinlets cutting silicified dacitic feldspar porphyry of the Sheila Lake Pluton, near its east end. A 6.0 metre wide sample assayed 1.0 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 8398).

Misty Mountain Gold Ltd. flew airborne radiometrics, resistivity and magnetometer surveys over the showing in 1995. This showing was also soil-sampled and prospected by the company in 1995 and 1996.
