The geology of the region consists of (?)Hadrynian to Paleozoic Snowshoe Group rocks. The Snowshoe Group is an assemblage of dominantly metasedimentary rocks within the Barkerville Terrane. The metasedimentary rocks consist mainly of marble, quartzite and phyllite which in the area of the showing comprise the Downey succession. Metamorphism of the region varies from chlorite to sillimanite and higher grade. Mineral deposits of the region are generally confined to greenschist facies rocks.

The showing consists of pyrite and galena with low gold values in quartz veins cutting quartzite and schist of the Downey succession. These veins have variable attitudes.
