Subprovince: Abitibi
Terrane: Wawa-Abitibi
Belt: Abitibi
Geological Age: Mesoarchean
Metamorphism Grade: Greenschist
Dec 14, 2015 (R Degagne) - Geological mapping indicates that the area is underlain mainly by weakly metamorphosed (greenschist or lower metamorphic grade) tholeiitic volcanic rocks of the (Archean) Kinojevis Group. The area in which the veins are reported to occur is several hundred metres northeast of a felsic batholith of alkalic to subalkalic affinity. Numerous diabase dikes of the (Proterozoic) Matachewan swarm intrude the Kinojevis Group rocks in the area. Proximity to the batholith likely indicates that some bedrock in the area has been subjected to contact metamorphic conditions of amphibolite grade.
