Belt: Abitibi
Tectonic Assemblage: Stoughton-Roquemaure
Geological Age: Archean
Metamorphism Grade: Greenschist
Apr 14, 2016 (C Salo) - Geological mapping indicates that bedrock in the occurrence area is largely glacial drift covered and that it consists mainly of weakly metamorphosed (greenschist or lower metamorphic grade) volcanic rocks of the (Archean) Stoughton- Roquemaure Group which strike southeast, dip steeply south, and face south. The occurrence is near the interpreted trace of the Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone.

Dec 07, 2005 (C Salo) - Diamond drill hole no. 5 intersected what was described to be spherulite lava which was: '...brecciated and syenitized, giving the rock a purplish tinge, very similar to the altered spherulite on the Kelwren. The spherulites stand out well, though they are partially or wholly replaced with cherty quartz and transparent quartz. The matrix is largely replaced with white to pink feldspathic material which is fractured and recemented by quartz carrying considerable pyrite... epidote is also present in the matrix?' (Hiskerr Gold Mines Ltd., assessment files, Resident Geologist's Office, Kirkland Lake). A 25 foot long diamond drill core section of spherulitic lava is reported (assessment files) to have averaged 0.14 ounce of gold per ton immediately up hole from a 5 foot section of what was described as ...pinkish white feldspathic lava-fractured and mineralized... In the north half of the south half of lot 2, concession IV, Hislop Township, Hiskerr Gold Mines diamond drill hole no. 8B intersected material averaging 0.08 ounce of gold per ton in a 3.6 foot section of variably banded, silicified, and altered (of unspecified type) andesite (probably an Mg-tholeiitic basalt). Diamond drill hole no. 2A yielded an 0.8 foot core length of unsheared andesite containing fine grained visible gold within quartz filled fractures.
