Apr 24, 2015 (A Wilson) - The property is underlain by Archean sedimentary rocks classified as either conglomerate or greywacke to the north and south. A gold bearing dike of syenite intrudes the sediments in an east-west direction at the southern boundary of the property. Mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks underlie the central and eastern sections of the claim group. Matachewan swarm diabase dikes traverse the property in a north-south direction. The western extension or Matachewan Branch of the Larder-Cadillac Break cuts the property at the south end.

Mar 20, 2015 (A Wilson) - Samples collected by H. Lovell in 1965 contained traces of gold. During 2003, the best results of grab sampling from a trench in the area were 1.17 g/t Au in sample 2002 at 10+08E/1+95S of loose pyritic slabs of syenite that appeared to be sourced from a pit, and 0.95 g/t Au at 9+80E/1+85S.
