Aug 15, 2016 (Andrew Tims) - "Keewatin" metavolcanic rocks, including komatiitic,tholeiitic, calc-alkalic, high potassium calc-alkalic and shoshonite affinities are the main constituents of the belt. Timiskaming-type sediments and associated high potassic calc-alkalic and shoshonitic volcanics unconformably overlie Keewatin lithologies.

Aug 15, 2016 (Andrew Tims) - oliated Timiskaming-type clastic metasedimentary rocks in the vicinity of the road display extensive iron carbonatization and are locally riddled with quartz-carbonate stockwork veins. There are also gold occurrences associated with quartz veins in the Matawin iron formation where the Matawin River crosses the iron formation. These veins returned values up to 18.4 g/t during prospecting activity. 2004 propsecting yielded 1.596 g/t from sample GC-22-23
