The Camp prospect is located near the centre of the Camp halo, an area of hornfelsing and alteration (Fieldwork 1991, page 115). Hornfelsed fine-grained dust tuffs and siltstones of the Upper Triassic Inzana Lake Formation (Takla Group) are intruded by hornblende porphyry dikes similar to those on the Tas property (093K 080). Drillholes also intersected syenite, graphitic sediments, hornfelsed volcanics and augite/hornblende porphyry of andesitic to latitic composition.

Pervasive chlorite and epidote alteration is observed and potassic alteration is indicated by very fine-grained interstitial biotite. Carbonate alteration is widespread.

Pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite occur as disseminations and malachite is present on some fracture surfaces. In drillhole 91-2, augite porphyry, hornfels and andesite are all copper-bearing from 25.30 metres to the end of the hole at 152.70 metres, a total of 127.40 metres. This interval averages 0.18 per cent (1823 parts per million) copper and 0.033 gram per tonne (33 parts per billion) gold (Assessment Report 21295, page 10). Another drillhole intersected altered volcanics with up to 25 per cent magnetite.

In 2012, Serengeti Resources Inc. completed a drilling program on the occurrence. Highlighted results included drillhole C-12-07, which graded 0.02 per cent copper, 0.66 gram per tonne gold, and 0.9 gram per tonne silver over 5.0 metres at 122.0 metres in depth (Assessment Report 34060).
