South of Horsefly, the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic rocks of the Central Quesnel Belt have been intruded by the Lower Jurassic Takomkane batholith. The Takomkane batholith is of quartz monzonite to granodioritic composition. South of Murphy Lake the batholith is overlain by remnants of the Eocene Kamloops Group sedimentary and volcanic rocks.

The SL showing comprises minor amounts of chalcopyrite within the Takomkane batholith. The overlying Kamloops Group sediments include thin coal seams.
