The View Crown-granted claim is underlain, on its western part, by the Pennsylvanian and possibly Permian Mount Roberts Formation siltstone, hornfelsed siltstone, hornfels and a breccia complex. The siltstone is rusty, sooty and massive or thinly bedded with minor disseminated pyrrhotite and pyrite. The hornfels and hornfelsic siltstones are thinly laminated and massive cherty rocks which locally contain brown garnet and epidote. The Mount Roberts succession overlies augite porphyry of the Rossland sill, which underlies the eastern part of the Crown grant, and is thought to have been thrust over the sill. The Rossland sill intrudes the upper part of the Elise Formation (Rossland Group) and is considered part of that formation.

The Rossland Group rocks are intruded to the south by the Rossland monzonite stock and to the north by the Cretaceous Trail Pluton which is comprised of a granodiorite stock.

The View claim adjoins the St. Elmo property (082FSW134) near the summit of Red Mountain. A 14-metre tunnel was driven along a 38 centimetre wide mineralized vein which widens at depth to nearly 0.9 metres of mixed ore comprised of pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. More ore shoots exposed along the walls show 38 centimetres of solid ore which in 1915 typically assayed 15 per cent copper (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 77, page 135).
