The Mount Fitton talc deposits lie in an area of regionally metamorphosed Adelaide System sediments, flanked to the north and east by granite complexes. The talc deposits occur in an extensive tremolite marble formation interbedded with a series of fluvioglacial and tillites. In folding, the relatively incompetent marble has "flowed" considerably. About its junctions with the enclosing beds, drag folding and minor faulting has produced weaknesses which have favoured the entrance and selective activity of hydro-thermal solutions to produce talc by processes of metasomatism.
