The Project is underlain by Archean-aged metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks consisting of greywacke, arkose, and iron formation similar to the rocks known to host known gold deposits. To the west and north, the terrain is underlain by east-west striking metasedimentary schists and mafic metavolcanic flows belonging to the Quetico Subprovince. The south and east areas of the Project are underlain by hornblende-quartz feldspar gneiss and granite bodies belonging to the Wawa Subprovince. The Project also lies within the LePage Fault System. This system is part of the western margin of the KSZ and consists of a series of parallel northeast trending fault structures, which include the Rufus Lake and Opasatika Lake faults. Both faults cross the property and are easily identifiable on the regional government airborne magnetic survey sheets. Assuming these structural could be potential feeders the Company sees high prospectivity for discoveries of mineralization associated with past tectonic- magmatic evolution.
