Province: Superior
Subprovince: Sachigo
Terrane: North Caribou
Geological Age: Archean
Aug 01, 2014 (A Wilson) - The property straddles the contact between the Archean-aged granite gneiss, volcanic greenstone belts and related intrusions of the Superior Province with upper Ordovician aged sedimentary rocks of the James Bay lowlands.
| Rock Type | Rank | Composition | Texture | Relationship | Peridotite | 1 | Peridotite | Host |

| Ultramafic-Unsubdivided | 2 | Ultramafic To Mafic | Footwall | |
| Mafic lava flow-unsubdivided | 3 | Near |
Mar 26, 2007 (A Wilson) - The peridotite is described as displaying banding. Alteration to serpentine and asbestos noted. The remainder of the drill hole intersected ultramafic-mafic metavolcanics, mafic metavolcanics, intermediate metavolcanics and feldspar porphyry. A fault zone is interpreted as lying at the contact between the mafic and intermediate/felsic metavolcanics. Drill hole FW-06-04 did not intersect the same chromitite layers. It intersected a sequence of intermediate to felsic tuffs that returned anomalous copper values.

Mar 26, 2007 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected two high-grade chromitite layers. The upper chromitite layer returned assays of 23.4% Cr, 0.19 g/t Pt, 0.21 g/t Pd, 0.32 g/t Ru, 0.05 g/t Rh and 0.12% Ni over 1.03 m. The lower chromitite layer returned assays of 18.6% Cr, 0.23 g/t Pt, 0.48 g/t Pd, 0.30 g/t Ru, 0.05 g/t Rh and 0.13% Ni over 0.83. Anomalous gold values up to 4.6 g/t gold over 0.3 m also was intersected below the chromitite layers.
