The Ribera Pluton was introduced by Talla Takam et al. (in preparation) in the Emmanuel Lake (NTS sheet 33A09) and Léran Lake (sheet 23D12) areas to describe an elongated, highly magnetic granite intrusion along the Opinaca – Opatica contact. Previously, this pluton was part of the Misasque River massif described by Hocq (1985), a large felsic package of tonalite, granodiorite and granite.

The Ribera Pluton mainly consists of massive granite, leucocratic, light grey-white in altered surface and pinkish grey-white in fresh exposure. It is medium to coarse grained and slightly foliated in places. The main minerals are quartz, plagioclase, microcline and magnetite. Quartz shows subgrains with undulatory extinction resulting from the effect of regional constraints. Microcline displays characteristic mesh polysynthetic twins and is observed in greater proportion than in other granites of the region. The rock is slightly sericitized and regularly shows myrmekite zones and perthitic or even antiperthitic textures in thin section. Biotite is rather scarce (0-3%) and partially to completely chloritized. The most common accessory minerals are epidote, sphene and apatite. To the west, the proportion of plagioclase increases with the appearance of hornblende, giving the rock a more granodioritic composition.
