The area is underlain by Tertiary volcanics of the Masset Formation, which are underlain by calcareous argillites and sandstones of the Middle Jurassic Yakoun(?) Group. Dacitic to rhylotic flows and pyroclastics display extensive silicification and pyritization.

A percussion drill hole (M6) intersected 18.3 metres of rhyolite pyroclastics with disseminated and fractured pyrite grading 0.55 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 8398). A stockwork trends 050 and consists of chalcedonic quartz and pyrite.

Misty Mountain Gold Ltd. flew airborne radiometrics, resistivity and magnetometer surveys over the showing in 1995. This showing was also sampled and prospected by the company in 1995 and 1996.
