Province: Superior
Subprovince: Abitibi
Terrane: Wawa-Abitibi
Belt: Abitibi
Tectonic Assemblage: Tisdale
Geological Age: Archean
Dec 09, 2015 (D Guidon) - The area is underlain by rocks that are part of the Western Abitibi subprovince, part of the Archean aged Superior Province. The copper occurrence is with an east- to northeast-trending package of volcanic rocks. Jackson and Fyon defined the package as the Bowman assemblage but Ayer et al. redefined it as the Tisdale assemble. The assemblage is composed to felsic-intermediate to mafic metavolcanic rocks, which are bounded to the north by the Pocupine assemblage.

Dec 09, 2015 (D Guidon) - Medium, grey-green, fine-grained sheared mafic volcanic rocks. Moderate pervasive silicification, weak pervasive chloritization, fracture controlled chalcopyrite-pyrite mineralization also was described.
