The rocks of the area consist of a series of Hadrynian to Lower Cambrian and younger schists and gneisses which have been intruded by a variety of plutonic rocks (age unknown). The schists and gneisses have been folded into a large anticline which plunges moderately to the northeast. Albert Creek follows approximately the axial trace of this anticline so that equivalent rocks are found on both side of Albert Canyon.

The metamorphosed rocks belong to the Lower Cambrian and younger Lardeau Group and Hadrynian to Lower Cambrian Hamill Group. The younger Lardeau Group consists of a succession of phyllites and gneisses with minor limestone bands. The underlying Hamill Group rocks consist of quartzites, quartz mica schists and several limestone bands. Underlying the Hamill Group is hornblende-biotite- quartz-plagioclase gneiss which may represent basement rock thrust up into the overlying metasediments.

Three separate intrusions occur and comprise hornblende biotite diorite, biotite hornblende granodiorite and biotite granite.

Small lenses of skarn are developed in some limestone bands and consist of garnet, diopside with lesser amounts of epidote, quartz, calcite, actinolite and vesuvianite.

At the EX 26 occurrence, a discontinuous and shattered 3-metre wide quartz vein is located along a shear which cuts through schists, limestone and granite. Scheelite occurs as large grains within the fractures of the vein and as large pods up to 10 centimetres in diameter. Similar veins are found 609 metres northeast.
