The Highway 33 basalt property is located on Kallis Creek, approximately 29 kilometres south east of Kelowna. In 2006, the property was explored for basalt to use in landscaping and as aggregate.
The area is underlain by granitic rocks of the Cretaceous Okanagan Batholith to the west and sheared equivalents of this and Monashee gneiss to the east.
Locally, there is a 500- metre- wide north- trending band of flat- lying basalt flows and columnar basalt, of Miocene age. The total thicknesses of the basalt flows could exceed 50 metres (Assessment Report 28864).
