The Francoeur and Arntfield gold property is situated in the Abitibi Sub-Province in the southern part of the Superior Structural Province. The underlying rocks are part of the Blake River volcanic group consisting of numerous interlayered mafic and felsic volcanic sequences. The volcanic rocks are intruded by diorite and gabbro intrusive masses. Syenite, feldspar porphyry and lamprophyre intrusions and dykes are common, particularly near important faults. Most faults or fractures on the property including the Wasa shear trend roughly east-west and eventually merge with the Cadillac Larder Lake Break to the east of the property.
