The area of the Cristine occurrence is underlain by dark grey siltstone and sandstone of the Pennsylvanian (and possibly Permian) Mount Roberts Formation. Discontinuous veins or lenses of quartz and carbonate host gold values with minor sulphides which include pyrite and chalcopyrite. The mineralization on the claims is probably associated with discontinuous gold mineralization in the Snowdrop mine (082FSW115) which is adjacent to the claims.
