The Fort Hope pegmatite field, as named by Černý and Meintzer (1988), represents the fourth largest concentration of rare-element mineralization in the Superior Province of Ontario.

The Fort Hope area has witnessed a long history of geological and mineral exploration that commenced with reconnaissance mapping of Bell (1886).

Mineral exploration for rare-element pegmatites of the area commenced in 1956 by Standard Lithium Mines Corporation.
