The Wilding Project lies within the Exploits Subzone of the Dunnage Tectonostratigraphic Zone and is underlain by Cambro-Ordovician volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks of the Victoria Lake Supergroup, the Red Cross Group, and Silurian-aged Rogerson Lake Conglomerate and volcanic rocks. The project covers approximately 30 km of the northeastern extension of the same structural corridor that hosts Marathon Gold’s Valentine Lake gold deposits. The Wilding Project abuts Marathon’s property and is an area that until 2017 had had not seen extensive historical exploration for gold.

Gold Mineralization has been intersected in quartz-tourmaline-pyrite orogenic style veins in the Rogerson Lake Conglomerate and Silurian felsic volcanic rocks in the Alder, Elm, Red Ochre Zones.
