Sediments including micaceous phyllites, sandstones, greywackes and quartzites have been mapped in the vicinity of the Talisker mine. These rocks are thought to be Cambrian in age. Mineralised quartz veins which appear to be confined to the greywackes, form an en echelon pattern across the strike of the beds. The lode system at the Talisker mine consists of a number of discontinuous veins pitching steeply south, in which the ore minerals occur as shoots with a slightly shallower pitch. Bleaching around the lodes at the Talisker mine is believed to be closely associated with the mineralisation and is considered a promising guide in prospecting for further ore.
