A strong circular gamma ray anomaly about 12 km in diameter, with a strong magnetic anomaly at its center, is southeast of the lake. Outcrop is very poor in the area but there are numerous boulders in glacial moraines of coarse-grained ultrapotassic syenite, enriched in U-Th-REE. They are probably derived from underlying intrusive rocks, equivalent to approx. 1.83 Ga minette volcanic rocks and dykes exposed throughout much of the Kivalliq District (Christopher Island Formation, Baker Lake Group, Dubawnt Supergroup).
