The claims are contained within the Birch-Uchi-Confederation Lakes greenstone belt which hosts the world-renowned Red Lake gold deposits and includes the Dixie project currently being drilled by Great Bear Resources. The Wabunk property appears to be hosted within a similar geological formation to the Dixie project.Sixteen grab samples were collected. Most samples were taken from the medium to coarse grained intrusive rocks which displayed sulphide content and a few samples were collected from the felsic to intermediate metavolcanics rocks and iron formation which could host gold mineralization.
