  M-theory on a Calabi-Yau threefold admitting a small resolution gives rise to
an Abelian vector multiplet and a charged hypermultiplet. We introduce into
this picture a procedure to construct threefolds that naturally host matter
with electric charges up to six. These are built as families of Du Val ADE
surfaces (or ALE spaces), and the possible charges correspond to the Dynkin
labels of the adjoint of the ADE algebra. In the case of charge two, we give a
new derivation of the answer originally obtained by Curto and Morrison, and
explicitly relate this construction to the Morrison-Park geometry. We also give
a procedure for constructing higher-charge cases, which can often be applied to
F-theory models.
