The Hecla-Kilmer complex is completely covered by muskeg and glacial deposits, but aeromagnetic data indicate a complex of 18 km2. Drilling has proved the presence of essexite, ijolite, pyroxenite and nepheline syenite.
Age:
Rb-Sr data were obtained by Bell and Blenkinsop (1980, p.17) but did not define an isochron. A least-squares fit line placed through the data points indicated an age of 450 Ma, but this was not considered reliable.
