The High Stake zone of the Inel property occurs in an area that is primarily underlain by marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group. Lower Jurassic andesitic volcanics of the Hazeleton Group overlie the Stuhini rocks and Early Jurassic feldspar porphyritic rock and monzodioritic to gabbroic rock intrude the strata.

The rocks are cut by a long, narrow, high angle alaskite (quartz-feldspar porphyry) pluton which extends from the south boundary of the Inel claims,

Prospecting in 1983 and 1984 led to trenching above Bronson Glacier southwest of the main mineralized areas. The Superior zone was discovered and consisted of pyrrhotite and sphalerite in sub-parallel quartz-sulphide veins. The trenched material graded as high as 0.15 per cent copper, 1.79 per cent lead, 12.99 per cent zinc, 67.54 grams per tonne silver and 0.41 gram per tonne gold (Property File (Grove, 1987)). The host rocks consist of thin-bedded volcanic sandstone and siltstone that are part of a sedimentary sequence intercalated within a thick andesite breccia. This andesitic breccia is the lower member in the Hazelton Group Unuk River Formation and is overlain by con- trasting light colored rhyolitic fragmental/flow sequence.

Talus covers most of the area above Bronson Glacier. Blocks up to 0.9 by 1.2 metres, of silver-bearing galena, sphalerite and pyrite, occur here. The source of this material has not been found.
