The Table Top Mountain Wilderness Study Area is underlain by Proterozoic schist, quartz monzonite, Tertiary basalt, and clastic sedimentary rocks. Alluvium is present adjacent to the mountains. The area does not contain any identified resources. Areas of schist have low mineral resource potential for copper, gold, and silver in veins. The quartz monzonite has low potential for quartz, feldspar, mica, rare-earth elements, uranium, thorium, and beryllium in pegmatites and monazite. There is a low potential for evaporite minerals, placer tin, and geothermal energy, and oil and gas.
