The only outcrop is a carbonatite dyke on the shore of Camp Lake, which dips to the northeast, has a thickness of nearly 10 m, a length of 40 m and cuts fenitized Precambrian gneisses. The rock consists of calcite, green amphibole, apatite, magnetite, pyrochlore and locally baryte. A strong aeromagnetic anomaly about 5 km in diameter (Ferguson, 1971, Map) indicates the probable size of the intrusion, which has been confirmed by drilling. Drilling intersected vertically-dipping bands of sovite and mafic rocks consisting of pyroxene, amphibole, magnetite, apatite, mica and calcite with disseminated pyrrhotine, blebs of chalcopyrite, pyrochlore and mafic rock fragments.
