In fluorite-calcite veins, pegmatite, and syenite gneiss.

"The deposit was worked in 1924 for fluorite by Industrial Minerals Corporation. The workings consisted of trenches and a shaft put down to a depth of 6.7 m. A shipment of 1.8 t of hand-picked fluorite was made. In 1954, Nu-Age Uranium Mines, Limited conducted a scintillometer survey of the property and discoved radioactive zones which were explored from 1954 to 1956 by surface openings and an inclined shaft."
