The showing is located near the centre of the peninsula between Rennell Sound and Kano Inlet at an elevation between 61 and 610 metres.
In 1970 Texas Gulf Sulphur Company carried out topographic mapping, surface geology mapping, a geochemical silt survey of 100 samples covering Bev 1 to 14.
The area is underlain by granodiorite of the Middle Jurassic West Kano Batholith, (San Christoval Plutonic Suite) intruded by a Tertiary quartz monzonite porphyry stock ("Cone Head stock") which is probably corellative with the Central Kano Pluton (Kano Plutonic Suite). The rocks are cut by andesite dikes, felsite dikes, and intrusive breccia "pipes".
Quartz-tourmaline veinlets occur along fractures, predominantly in felsite and primarily as a stockwork.
Mineralization is spacially associated with the porphyry stock and appears to be structurally controlled. Chalcopyrite, molybdenite, pyrrhotite, and pyrite occur along quartz-sericite fracture planes and arsenopyrite is most frequent along faults or within adjacent calcareous rocks.
Gold mineralization is very erratic and appears related to late stage quartz veining, crackle breccia, and breccia pipes within and adjacent to the quartz monzonite porphyry. A sample of a quartz- tourmaline vein assayed 27.0 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 10280).
