Granite and a buff-coloured dolomitic limestone are the predominant rock types, suggesting tungsten mineralisation is skarn-related.

Two adits have been driven in or near the granite-dolomite contact on the Victor and Victor No. 1 claims. This contact zone is characterized by a dark-coloured rock, about 15m wide in outcrop. The adits have been driven into the limestone away from the contact however, due to the orientation of the contact with respect to the terrain, and no significant mining has occurred within the altered contact zone.

Three northeast-southwest trending fault structures exist in the granite and show copper and iron oxides at surface. The original owners of the mine in the 1950’s thought this mineralisation might be related to that at the nearby Loretto copper mine (1km to the southwest). The mined vein system in the adits on the western side of the central ridge strike northwest-southeast, possibly a conjugate system.

Reported production of copper-tungsten ore evidently came from the adit at the southern end of the Victor claim, which is at the end of a road and has some remnant infrastructure from the mining. The portal of this adit is in the skarn and the workings extend into the limestone to the southwest.
Widespread disseminated scheelite can be observed due to its fluorescence under ultraviolet light in the marble near the contact with granodiorite. Green-fluorescing calcite is also observed, and this may be due to the presence of uranium, which was detected to levels of 0.01% in rock chip samples.

This piece was considered waste by the miners of the time but assayed 3.7% copper and 0.13% tungsten.
