The Prospect Valley property lies within the Southern Intermontane Tectonic Belt of the Canadian Cordillera. Lithologies within the Prospect Valley region include successions of Mesozoic (248-65 Ma) to Tertiary (65-1.8 Ma) volcanic and sedimentary rocks, which have been intruded by plutons of various compositions and ages from Late Triassic and/or Jurassic to Miocene(?). Locally thick deposits of Pleistocene and recent glacial till and alluvium are prevalent in all the major creek or river valleys.
