Geology
The property is underlain by Nipissing diabase except in the E part of the claim where the diabase rolls (dips) steeply under Keewatin andesite lavas whose beds strike NNE. Along the contact which also strikes NNE, the diabase is fine-grained. The Beaver Fault extends NW into the claim.
Three mineralized calcite veins that strike NNE occur in the Keewatin volcanics, two of which extend south into the adjoining Beaver property.
