The area is underlain by metasediments and metavolcanics of the Lower Paleozoic Upper Index Formation of the Lardeau Group. The rocks include north-dipping interbanded graphitic schist, chlorite schist, talc schist, quartz-mica schist, quartzite, and marble.

The volcanic sequence is represented by a twenty metre thick section of quartz-talc-tremolite-garnet schist, forming an envelope around a core of chlorite rich schists which contain sulphide mineralization consisting of pyrrhotite with minor chalcopyrite.

A drill hole (DH #1) intersected 0.005 per cent copper and 0.15 per cent zinc over 2.8 metres (Assessment Report 6371)
