The Bonaventure Pluton was defined by Hammouche et al. (2011) to limit a massive gabbronorite intrusion in the southern portion of the Bonaventure Lake area (sheet 23I15). Because of its characteristics similar to those of De Pas Charnockitic Suite mafic rocks, the Bonaventure Pluton was considered to be part of the latter, as part of the synthesis of the Southeastern Churchill Province (SECP; Lafrance et al., 2018). It is located on the south shore of Bonaventure Lake and is named after it.

The Bonaventure Pluton consists mainly of gabbronorite, locally quartz gabbronorite, and smaller amounts of diorite, gabbro, monzogabbro and quartz gabbro. Rocks are massive, usually even grained, medium grained or locally coarse grained. They are often intruded by diorite or finer-grained granite. A few 4 to 30 cm thick layers of fine-grained pyroxenite, highly magnetic, are inserted in gabbronorite and gabbro. Gabbronorite is composed of plagioclase, augite, subhedral hypersthene, and some hornblende, biotite and apatite. Ferromagnesian minerals account for 15% to 40% of mineral phases. The rock also contains magnetite, pyrite and pyrrhotite in varying amounts. Sphene and epidote are sparse and occur as fine inclusions in plagioclase.
