The Wolverine area is primarily underlain by marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group. Lower Jurassic andesitic volcanics of the Hazeleton Group overlie the Stuhini rocks and Early Jurassic feldspar porphyritic rock and monzodioritic to gabbroic rock intrude the strata.

The Wolverine zone is located near the northeast corner of the Inel property where massive Paleozoic slabs have been overthrust onto Lower and Middle Jurassic strata. Stock-like alaskite plutons and dikes have cut a dominantly volcaniclastic sequence. Sampling along the steep bluffs above Monument Creek has produced assay results as high as 5.55 per cent copper, 1.48 per cent lead, 7.0 per cent zinc, 75.43 grams per tonne silver and 0.55 gram per tonne gold (Grove, 1987 (Property File)). The high grade assay results reflect mineralization in which chalcopyrite, magnetite, pyrite, as well as copper oxides (malachite, azurite) were found in limestone bands up to 6.0 metres intercalated within volcanic sediments. This showing is described as a gold-bearing copper skarn.

Other mineralization consists of quartz-sulphide stockwork vein systems which crosscut the same host rocks. The overall mineralized zone is described as about 200 metres wide but has not been traced laterally.
