From Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines website:
The area is underlain by an igneous complex of two major rock types, granite and pegmatite. This complex is cut by two major structures. The earlier recognizable structure is represented by a quartz-epidote vein system and the later structure represents a system of mafic dikes. The granitic rock is fine to medium grained and pink in colour, and ranges in composition from a high silica-potassium granite to a granodiorite. Many portions of the granite contain inclusions or xenoliths of mafic material that have been altered by the intruding granite. Inclusions vary in size from 5 cm up to many metres in diameter. Some inclusions show sharp contacts whereas others show gradationalcontacts.The granite is cut by numerous narrow pegmatite veins composed of quartz and coarse-grained feldspar. The veins vary in width from 5 cm to 0.6 or 1 meter and strike N 70 degreesE. There are numerous fluorite veins in the vicinity. The majority of these are found in the surfaces of the joint planes, as seams of purple fluorite cubes. (Resident Geologist's Files, Schreiber-Hemlo District, Thunder Bay).
