Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The Wilder Lake Complex is a 32 square kilometer intrusive body composed of metadiorite to metagabbro. The complex is younger than the surrounding supracrustal rocks and has been interpreted by Sage (1993) to be a late mafic intrusion that occurred before the emplacement of younger granitoid intrusions. The relationship between the complex and the external granitic bodies has not been established.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The occurrence consists of fine disseminations and lenses of pyrite within a schist. Irregular quartz veins have also been observed in the mineralized outcrops.
