The Mallard property lies in the southern part of the Swayze greenstone belt of the Abitibi Subprovince, and is underlain by deformed and sericite + carbonate altered felsic, intermediate, and mafic volcanic rocks. The Ridout fault, considered a lateral equivalent to metallogenically important Cadillac-Larder Lake deformation zone, occurs 1 to 2 kilometers south of the property. The Ridout Fault host two significant gold deposits; IAMGOLD's Cote Gold project (171.9Kt containing 12.4Moz Au, Measured, Indicated and Inferred resources inclusive of reserves, 100% basis), 30 km to the southeast, and Newmont Goldcorp's Borden Lake project 90 km to the west, in addition to the small past-producing Jerome Mine, about 17 km the the southeast. Fault splays associated with the Ridout Fault are interpreted to transact the central part of the property, and host gold mineralization identified by Noranda and others. The separate Heenan property is situated approximately 6 km to the northwest of the Mallard property, and is less well explored.

The River and Camp vein-hosted gold occurrences lie on the NW portion of the Mallard concession block. Drilling by Noranda in 1985 (MNDM assessment report 41O09NW0003, non-43-101 compliant results) returned up to 0.193 opt. Au over 6 feet (drillhole BE-85-3) and 0.102 opt. Au over 9.1 feet (drillhole BE-85-5). The best channel sample from Norandas work was 0.93 opt. Au over 7 feet. Fancamps initial work focused on exploring untested IP anomalies identified by prior workers, and conductive zones from its own VTEM study. A 10 hole diamond drill program was completed over the central part of the Mallard property in 2019 (Fancamp's Press Release May 15, 2019).
