Scheelite-bearing quartz veins are enclosed in a schistose conglomerate.
The conglomerate has been metamorphosed to dark-green to black quartz-biotite schist and quartz-hornblende schist containing subrounded boulders of trondhjemite and lenses of quartzose schist.
The conglomerate is an enclave surrounded by the granitoid rocks of the Pukaskwa Batholith.
The enclave is approximately 30-40 m wide at the shoreline and pinches out about 2 km north.
Scheelite occurs as grains, crystals, crystal clusters and veinlets of varying sizes.
The scheelite is present mostly along schist septa in the quartz or at the margin of quartz veins.
The distribution of scheelite is erratic.
