Geological Age: Archean
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Proterozoic kimberlites have been found within the Sachigo Subprovince. The distribution of these intrusions appears to be random but restricted to the Sachigo. The age of these intrusions makes them coeval with the Mid continent Rift (Lake Superior Basin) and the tectonic and/or alkalic rock magmatism along the Kapuskasing Structural Zone and the Grenville Front.

Oct 21, 2009 (A Wilson) - The intrusion is interpreted to be Proterozoic in age and subcrops beneath overburden and Paleozoic rocks. The Paleozoic rocks consist of calcareous dolomite, siltstone, sandstone, shale, limestone, cherty dolomite and dolomite. The kimberlite consists of weathered hypabyssal kimberlite and diatreme facies kimberlite. Xenoliths of granitic basement rock have been noted in felsic intrusive rocks with dikes of kimberlite up to 4 m wide were intersected between 401 and 458 m in DR 96-61. Possible diatreme facies were observed between 161.3 and 200.2 m where abundant highly altered, small xenoliths were observed. Mantle nodules are present in both hypabyssal and diatreme facies.
