Limestone with some interbedded shale and schist of the Lower Jurassic Elise Formation (Rossland Group) outcrops along the west side of Highway 22A, just north of Waneta, forming a 50 metre high cliff. The strata strike 165 degrees and dip 45 degrees west. The beds consist of dark blue, fine-grained, grey weathering, occasionally shaley limestone alternating with beds of light grey shale or schist. A few calcite veinlets cut the limestone. Two chip samples analyzed as follows (CANMET Report 811, page 207, Samples 80, 80A):

Sample 80 was taken across a 5.2 metre thick limestone bed, while

Sample 80A was from a 3.7 metre thick bed.
